The Caol Ila 2015 Virgin Oak Finish by Wilson & Morgan Distillery

Caol Ila 2015 Virgin Oak Finish is in its second edition. This whisky is produced in Speyside, one of the five whisky-producing regions in Scotland; Speyside takes its name from the river that runs through it. It is interesting to know that this area is home to Scotland’s highest number of distilleries.

Distilled in 2015, it ages for eight years in new oak barrels; the relatively short ageing gives us a whisky rich in flavours and aromas. It is bottled in 2023.

The Tasting

Golden yellow, notes of smoke give way to fruity hints of pear and citrus to close with scents of cream and marzipan. On the palate, you can immediately savour the notes of iodine and earth that give way to delicate sensations of blueberry and biscuits. The finish is long and dry with pleasant sensations of vanilla and spices.

We recommend tasting it neat and relaxing while smoking a good cigar.

Wilson & Morgan

Wilson & Morgan has been producing the best Scottish single malts since 1992. This company conducts meticulous research and selection work to offer an audience of connoisseurs whiskies rich in personality and a typically Scottish “artisanal” taste.

Their trademark lies in the ability to select the best single malts from the different distilleries and in the desire to wait for perfect ageing to be achieved, but also in choosing the best barrels to refine their single malts by exploiting the essences hidden between the boards of the barrels themselves like the wines, or other liqueurs.
