Caol Ila 12 Year Old 2011 is a bold and beautifully balanced Islay single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Hunter Laing & Co. for the celebrated Old Malt Cask 25th Anniversary series. Distilled in 2011 and matured in a single Manzanilla sherry butt, this limited release was bottled in October 2023, yielding 750 bottles.
The influence of Manzanilla sherry cask maturation brings a unique coastal salinity and delicate nuttiness that perfectly complements Caol Ila’s signature smoky maritime spirit. Layers of citrus, sea spray, soft peat smoke, and salted nuts intertwine with gentle sweetness and spice, creating an elegant and highly distinctive Islay malt.
