The Caol Ila 2010 SdS Jamaican Rum Cask Finish is a peated single malt whisky that has been meticulously crafted by the renowned Islay distillery, Caol Ila. Distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2022 by the independent bottler Swell de Spirits, this exceptional whisky boasts an impressive ABV of 57% and is presented in a 500ml bottle. The whisky's maturation in a Jamaican rum cask imparts distinctive and intriguing flavors, making it a unique offering in the world of whisky. On the nose, the Caol Ila 2010 SdS Jamaican Rum Cask Finish greets you with a blend of seaside and smoky aromas. The presence of peat, ash, and salt air mingles with hints of malted cereal, creating a complex yet inviting bouquet. As the whisky aerates, the ashy notes become more pronounced, evoking imagery of cold, mineral-rich granite cliffs and licorice-tinged cereals. The palate reveals a surprising roundness and less peatiness than one might anticipate. Instead, it offers a harmonious balance of spices, pepper, and well-infused green tea. A touch of malted and fermented cereal emerges mid-palate, enhancing the overall sense of authenticity and satisfaction. The finish is long-lasting for a 10-year-old whisky, with tenacious fruity and sweet notes complementing the peatiness and a hint of pepper. The interplay of flavors lingers pleasantly, ensuring a memorable drinking experience. This remarkable dram showcases the innovative potential of Swell de Spirits as a bottler, delivering a whisky that is both complex and enjoyable.
