Berry Bros & Rudd Coasts & Shores Caol Ila 14 Year Old 2010 Single Cask (70cl, 57.1%)

This is a single cask Caol Ila from 2010, aged 14 years and bottled at 57.1% ABV in a 70cl bottle. It comes from Berry Bros & Rudd, in its Coasts & Shores selection. Caol Ila stands near Port Askaig on the eastern coast of Islay, and its name comes from the Gaelic for 'sound of Islay'. The nose offers ripe peaches and bonfire night toffee apples over damp coastal peat, with sticky sweet dates emerging later. The palate is creamy, with digestive biscuits and bonfire smoke. The finish is long, with earthy peat and subtle sweet fruit.
