Caol Ila 2011 14 Year Old Cask#312219 - Berry Bros. & Rudd

This distinctive Caol Ila 14 Year Old joins Berry Bros. & Rudd's Odyssey Range: The Auld & The Bold, a collection of carefully selected single cask whiskies chosen for their individuality and exceptional flavour. Distilled in 2011 and finished in a Moscatel wine cask, this release highlights the elegant balance between Caol Ila's coastal peat smoke and rich wine-cask sweetness.

Located on the shores of Port Askaig overlooking the Sound of Islay, Caol Ila is renowned for producing a refined and fruit-forward style of Islay whisky. Its distinctive character combines maritime smoke with underlying elegance and complexity.

Bottled at 52.4% ABV, this release opens with aromas of sticky cola sweets, rich red fruit preserves, and caramelised sugar. The palate delivers waves of sweet, jammy fruit layered over classic Islay peat smoke, leading to a long finish of lingering coastal smokiness and sweet caramel notes.

With only 240 bottles produced, this is a rare and highly collectible single cask release.
