Caol Ila’s spirit is particularly well suited to sherry wood, with its clean, coastal peat smoke providing a perfect counterpoint to the sweeter and darker notes developed through maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUnlike heavily medicinal styles of Islay whisky, Caol Ila is often admired for its elegance and balance. Here, the Oloroso influence enhances rather than dominates, allowing the distillery’s signature smoky character to remain firmly at the heart of the whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe whisky opens with layers of peat smoke intertwined with smoky cured meats and rich dried fruits. The combination creates a wonderfully savoury profile, where maritime smoke, salted air, and gentle sweetness work together seamlessly. As the whisky develops, notes of dark fruit, polished oak, and warming spice emerge, adding further complexity without sacrificing freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe palate carries the same balance of smoke and richness, delivering a satisfying combination of savoury depth, dried fruit sweetness, and gentle oak influence. The finish is long and warming, with lingering peat smoke, cured meat character, and a subtle sweetness that slowly fades into spice and oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBottled at 52.1% ABV, with natural colour and without chill filtration, this whisky retains plenty of texture and flavour while remaining highly approachable. With an outturn of 488 bottles, it offers a generous yet limited opportunity to experience one of Islay’s most versatile distilleries in a classic sherry-cask style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA richly flavoured Islay malt where elegant peat smoke meets the dark fruit and savoury depth of Oloroso maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morrison Distillers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206713188727,"sku":"CMR-COL-14-521","price":97.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0428\/1722\/4864\/files\/carn-mor-caol-ila-14-year-old-1.png?v=1782054625","url":"https:\/\/topwhiskies.com\/products\/carn-mor-caol-ila-14-year-old","provider":"TopWhiskies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
