CAOL ILA 12A 2013 70CL 54.5 ITINERAIRES
Reference: 26542
A 12 year old Islay single malt matured in a sherry cask with peat smoke, dark chocolate, dried fruit and maritime freshness.
Caol Ila 12 Year Old 2013 Itinéraires is an Islay single malt selected by Signatory Vintage for La Maison du Whisky's Itinéraires collection. Distilled in 2013 and matured for twelve years in a single first fill sherry butt, it is bottled at its natural cask strength of 54.5%. This limited release perfectly balances Caol Ila's signature peat with the richness of sherry while remaining non chill filtered and naturally coloured.
The nose delivers layers of peat smoke, dark fruit, candied orange, dark chocolate and walnuts with coastal freshness and warming spices. The palate is rich, oily and powerful, combining smoky notes with dried fruits, cocoa, roasted coffee and sweet spices. The finish is exceptionally long with lingering ash, sea salt, candied citrus and refined oak. It is a superb expression for lovers of richly sherried Islay whisky.
