About

Caol Ila 2015 Vintage 100 Proof Edition #26 is a distinguished single malt whisky from the renowned Caol Ila distillery, located on the picturesque Isle of Islay, Scotland. With an age statement of 9 years, this expression showcases the distillery's commitment to crafting exceptional whiskies that embody the essence of their coastal environment. On the palate, this 100 proof edition reveals a complex tapestry of flavors. Fresh and dried fruits mingle with zesty citrus, while notes of vanilla and malt add depth. The influence of the first-fill sherry butt cask introduces rich sherried characteristics, complemented by hints of oak, almond, and a peppery spice. The finish is both smoky and briny, with undertones of medicinal herbs and seaweed, making this whisky a true reflection of its Islay heritage.
