Caol Ila Oh Man That’s Great 10 Year Old 2010 is a powerful and evocative Islay single malt Scotch whisky, created to celebrate one of the most profound moments in human history—the Apollo 8 mission, the first crewed spacecraft to reach the Moon, orbit it, and safely return to Earth. During this historic journey, the Apollo 8 astronauts became the first humans to witness and photograph the breathtaking Earthrise, forever changing how we view our planet.
To honour this extraordinary achievement, The Whisky Barrel selected a single first fill sherry hogshead sourced from Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla in Jerez. Distilled in 2010 and bottled in July 2020, this remarkable Caol Ila was released in a strictly limited outturn of just 294 individually numbered bottles, making it a rare and highly collectible expression, exclusive to The Whisky Barrel.

Tasting Notes
Extragalactic embers of driftwood voyage to the far side of the moon. Metrolyric orange zest free falling into an orbit of cinnamon clusters. Marmalade rings, sherry nebula and a maritime interstellar finish.
