Caol Ila Fèis Ìle 2013

This Caol Ila limited edition Fèis Ìle festival bottling is a triple matured release. This was personally selected by distillery manager Billy Stitchell. He gave the following description: “Spirit distilled in 1998 has been triple cask matured. For 12 years it rested in a combination of Refill Butts, Hogsheads and Barrels. The vatted whisky was then allowed to mature for several months in active! hogshead casks to impart a spicy/oaky note to the existing delicate Caol Ila smoke. Finally, it was treated to a final gentle! maturation in European oak.”

Nose – zesty orange peel, sweet honey, seaweed

Palate – Maderia with citrusy notes

Overall – A rich, unusual yet delicious Caol Ila release
