Caol Ila 12 Year Old Feis Ile 2016

From the heart of Islay, Caol Ila 12 Year Old embodies the distillery’s remarkable resilience and versatility. Matured in a combination of refill American oak hogsheads and European bodega sherry butts, this 2016 Feis Ile bottling presents a beautifully balanced character – a signature of Caol Ila’s spirit. Expect a delicate interplay of smoky peat, alongside notes of citrus fruit and a subtle sweetness derived from the sherry cask influence, culminating in a long, warming finish. Though historically favoured for blending, Caol Ila’s consistent quality shines through in this expressive single malt, revealing a complexity that has captivated whisky enthusiasts. Bottled at 56.2% ABV, it offers a robust and rewarding experience of Islay’s coastal character.
