Product description

Product description
This Caol Ila whisky is part of the Distillers Edition of the Classic Malts of Scotland. Since 1997, bottlings have been released annually in this series, with casks individually selected by the Master Distiller and a two-stage maturation process. The Single Malt is first matured in American and European oak refill casks. The second maturation process takes place in muscat and post-charred American oak casks with heavily post-charred, new AO finishes. Muscat casks are used less frequently for maturing whisky and are a speciality. They give the Caol Ila Distillers Edition additional facets of sweetness and spice.
