Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#9736) of Caol Ila distilled in 1995, aged in a hogshead cask and bottled in 2017 by La Maison du Whisky as part of the “Artist” range. In addition to an altruistic peat, which blends into the olfactory and gustatory landscape as if trying to disappear entirely (and almost succeeding), we are met by a smokiness which enjoys variations on a similar theme. This version has, among its myriad notable characteristics, an embodiment of the Caol Ila style: flawless minerality, a marine character which would make even the most seasoned sailors pale, and an incredible number of spices, bringing all four corners of the globe to a single bottle. As a bonus, it offers us a breathtaking view of the distillery. A limited edition of 276 bottles.

The distillery Caol Ila

Scotland, Isle of Islay. Distillery operational. Owner: Diageo

Fully modernized between 1972 and 1974, Caol Ila escaped the wave of closures sweeping through the Scotch whisky industry in the early 1980s. A key component in numerous blends, including Johnnie Walker, Bulloch Lade and Black Bottle, Caol Ila remained for a long time overshadowed by its illustrious sister Lagavulin. Up until the late 1980s, its malt was available in 12 and 15 year old versions bottled by Bulloch Lade & Co. In the early 1990s, United Distilleries launched two ranges showcasing all of its distilleries, The Rare Malts Selection and Flora & Fauna. Four versions of Caol Ila would be bottled first (vintage and cask strength limited editions), followed by a 43% 14 year old. Note that a 1983 cask strength in the very short-lived Fauna & Flora Cask Strength range and, more importantly, a classic 15 year old sherry cask - The Manager's Dram - were also released. In order to relieve Lagavulin of the pressure on its stocks in the early 2000s, Caol Ila was officially released on the market in 2002 in the Hidden Malt range, alongside three versions of its malt, a no-age-statement cask strength (55%), a 12 year old, and an 18 year old, followed by a 1978 25 year old in 2004.
