Caol Ila – Open day on Monday 26th May 2025
- Caol Ila 8 Year Old Fèis Ìle 2025 (55.8%, £110, 1,476 bottles)
In a bold new move, Caol Ila is introducing an exciting new dimension of flavour with Caol Ila Fèis Ìle 2025 8 Year-Old. This whisky has been matured in a unique combination of refill casks and Pedro Ximénez /Oloroso-seasoned casks, before being finished in new Colombian Oak casks.
The result is a burst of bold yet harmonious flavours. As whisky expert Charles MacLean puts it, “even at reduced strength, the taste is intense!”. This release explores Caol Ila’s waxy character, delivering an intensely smooth, oily texture and a richer, unexpectedly sweet profile emerging from the Colombian Oak cask finish. The whisky’s complex smoke is amplified by layers of spice notes and peppery warmth.
