Caol Ila 11 Year Old Cote Rotie Finished Whisky Cellar Scotch Whisky
The Whisky Cellar is an Edinburgh-based independent Scotch Whisky bottler, selecting casks from its private stock at the peak of their character. Founded by Keeper of the Quaich, Keith Bonnington, Keith searches far and wide for casks showing exceptional complexity of flavour and length on the palate.
This exceptionally drinkable bottling of a single cask of 11 Year Old Caol Ila had an extended finish in an ex-Cote Rotie Wine Cask (Rhone Valley likely to be Shiraz/Voignier). The resultant whisky has animated notes of cigar smoke, dried red fruits, freshly laid tar, boiled sweets, sea salt and cracked black pepper.
The cask turned out 350 bottles, of which 24 have made the journey Downunder.
Bottled at cask strength of 55.2% ABV.
