The Caol Ila 1990 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a remarkable expression, matured for 32 years in a refill American Oak Hogshead. This exquisite Islay single malt was filled into the cask in 1990 and left to age until it was bottled in June 2022 at a robust cask strength of 51.5% ABV. Renowned whisky writer Charles MacLean praises it as "a rich, smoky Caol Ila at its peak, a sweet and smoky delight from start to finish with its fresh, clean aromas and creamy texture adding to the enjoyment." This bottling is a unique and personal project for Pierrick Guillaume, former manager of the Caol Ila distillery, and the indie bottler Whisky Nerds. It is the culmination of a collaboration between these whisky experts who had the opportunity to taste Diageo's exclusive Casks of Distinction (CoD) samples in 2021. The refill American Oak Cask No. 6223 has imparted a perfect balance between cask and distillate, resulting in a whisky that is sure to impress even the most discerning of palates. With a rich, smoky flavor profile and a long, satisfying finish, this Caol Ila is a true testament to the art of whisky making. Limited to only 181 bottles, this 700ml gem is a collector's dream, embodying the soul of Islay in every drop.
