A punchy, coastal Caol Ila from Adelphi’s Summer 2021 outturn. Matured for 8 years in a refill bourbon hogshead, this is classic Islay peat at full throttle—bottled at natural cask strength, with no chill filtration and no added colour. Limited to just 324 bottles from a single cask, it’s a great pick for drinkers who like their smoky whisky crisp, bright, and unapologetically bold.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Bright peat smoke, sea spray, lemon zest, antiseptic notes, and vanilla sweetness from the bourbon wood.
Palate: Big, oily smoke with citrus, salted crackers, grilled herbs, and a peppery, mineral edge.
Finish: Long and drying—ashy embers, coastal salinity, and lingering sweet vanilla/charred oak.

About Caol Ila (and why it works so well in bourbon wood)
Caol Ila is loved for its clean, coastal peat profile—smoke that feels sharp and maritime rather than heavy and earthy. In a refill bourbon hogshead, that spirit character stays front-and-centre, with the cask adding gentle vanilla and structure without smothering the distillery’s signature Islay freshness.

Perfect For
- Islay fans who want a brighter, more coastal style of peat
- Collectors looking for a single-cask Adelphi release with a tight outturn
- Peat lovers who enjoy adding a few drops of water to explore the layers
