An 11 year old Caol Ila made for Fèis Ìle 2026, the 40th anniversary of the Islay festival. Only 1,080 bottles were released, at a natural cask strength of 56.1%. It was first matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, then finished for two years in American oak casks that previously held Don Julio tequila, a first for the distillery. It has been nicknamed 'Tequila Caol Ila'. The usual brine and coastal smoke remain, joined by zesty citrus peel, fresh herbs and a faint earthy agave note. The finish is clean and warming.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
