Caol Ila 9 Years Old 2016 Daily Drams Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml | 58.4% ABV

The point of difference in this 2016 Caol Ila is the finish in a single ex-Chardonnay barrel, adding a wine-cask accent to the distillery's familiar Islay smoke. It was bottled under the Daily Drams label at nine years old and 58.4% ABV.

Expect peat, fruit and a buttery edge, with the Chardonnay influence most noticeable on the palate without overwhelming the distillate. It is a good match for drinkers who know Caol Ila well and want a slightly different cask treatment at cask strength.
