Caol Ila 8 Years Old 2015 Artist Collective 7 700ml | 48% ABV

This young Caol Ila from Artist Collective 7 was drawn from a small batch of six hogsheads and released at 48%, with 2,753 bottles available. It captures the distillery's maritime peat in a clean, energetic style.

Expect bonfire smoke, sea salt, lemon peel and garden herbs on the nose. The palate brings brine, smoked mussels, vanilla, pastry, black pepper and paprika, with a saline, mineral finish of smoke, citrus zest and white pepper. A direct Caol Ila built around freshness and coastal smoke.
