Cadenhead's, Scotland's oldest independent bottler, has a huge array of stock and consistently bottle interesting casks. This one is from Caol Ila distillery and was distilled in 2012, then bottled in Autumn 2021 from a Bourbon Hogshead for their Authentic Collection; yielding 300 bottles.
Caol Ila
Islay’s biggest distillery is arguably its most consistent and underappreciated. Caol Ila was established in 1846 and when through a handful of owners thanks to various financial difficulties. The biggest change came in 1972 when the distillery and the majority of buildings were demolished and rebuilt. Famously, stepping into the gap during this period was inaction was the Brora distillery in Sutherland. After further investment in 2011, Caol Ila’s capacity increased to 6.5 million litres as its reputation continued to grow. Widely available in official versions and via independent bottlers, it now forms part of the Johnnie Walker experience with enhanced facilities for visitors.
