Alexander Murray & Co Caol Ila Single Cask 2014 10 year 750 ml

This is a single-cask Caol Ila bottled independently by Alexander Murray & Co., distilled in 2014 and aged 10 years before release. Caol Ila is an Islay distillery known for a lighter, more maritime style of peated Scotch than its heavily smoky island neighbors — expect smoke and brine up front, balanced by a fruity sweetness and a gentler peat character than a typical Islay malt. As a single cask, this bottling reflects one specific barrel rather than a blended house style, so expect more individuality and less consistency batch to batch than a standard distillery release. Limited by nature — once this cask is gone, this exact bottling won't be repeated.

How to drink this Caol Ila Single Cask

Neat, with maybe a few drops of water, is the way to taste what makes a single cask different from the standard distillery bottling. Ice will flatten the smoke and brine that define Caol Ila's character.
