Caol Ila 10 Year Old 2014 is a bold and innovative Islay single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Murray McDavid for the acclaimed Benchmark series. Distilled in 2014, this distinctive release was initially matured in traditional oak casks before undergoing a secondary maturation in Koval Rye Quarter casks sourced from the pioneering Koval Distillery.
The rye quarter cask finish adds an exciting layer of spice and intensity to Caol Ila’s classic maritime peat smoke. The smaller quarter cask format increases interaction between spirit and wood, delivering concentrated notes of cracked black pepper, vanilla, toasted rye bread, citrus oils, and warming oak spice while preserving the distillery’s signature coastal character. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a modern and highly expressive Islay malt with a transatlantic twist.
