Caol Ila Fèis Ìle 2022 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl
The Caol Ila Feis Ile 2022 edition showcases a bold experiment in maturation, finished for nearly two years in vibrant virgin oak casks—far longer than typical finishes. This rare approach highlights Caol Ila’s signature light fruitiness and smoky elegance, contrasting beautifully with Lagavulin's earthier character. The virgin oak imparts exceptional depth and flavour, amplifying the whisky's natural grassy and fruity vibrancy while preserving its youthful spirit.
Mild with a light prickle, opening with medicinal hints (iodine, fabric plaster), minerality (chalk, lime), and salty maritime notes. A hint of smoked bacon lingers underneath, with a dash of water revealing more classic bonfire smoke.
Full.
Lightly oily and smooth, with a surprisingly sweet taste balanced by mid-palate salt and a peppery kick on the swallow. Water enhances the sweetness, smoke, and subtle oak spice.
Long and smoky with subtle spice, smoked meat, and medicinal notes. With water, it becomes longer, smoother, and spicier, with lingering pepper and smoky bacon.
