Caol Ila 14 Year Old 2010 (Cask #311743) - Coasts & Shores (Berry Bros. & Rudd) Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Coastal brine and honeyed stone fruits are joined by notes of plump sultanas, and a whiff of delicate peat smoke.

Palate: Dense, and oily, with layers of sweet dried fruits, smoked almonds, and a touch of candied lemon. Earthy oak and smoke nestle in the depths, joined by rich dark chocolate.

Finish: The peat smoke fades while dark brown sugar, salted caramel, and prunes linger with a touch of pepper.

Distillery Information

Caol Ila was founded to the North of Islay in 1846 by the pleasingly-named Hector Henderson. It is located near Port Askaig and sits in lush, floral surroundings, overlooking the cove and the Paps of southern Jura. The distillery draws its water from Loch Nam Ban, whose waters travel through limestone and peat before reaching their beneficiary, Caol Ila. The whisky distillery was sold to Norman Buchanan in 1852 and then, following monetary hardship, to the Glasgow-based blenders Bulloch, Lade and Co who renovated the buildings in 1879. Following liquidation, Distillers Company Ltd acquired Caol Ila and the distillery was subsequently transferred to Scottish Malt Distillers. The capacity is moderate at 3.65 million litres annually, the majority of which is used in Johnnie Walker blends. Just 5% is kept for maturation as single malt.
