Caol Ila 2009 - 12 Year Old Whisky Sponge No.66

Whisky Sponge began life as a whisky blog (see http://whiskysponge.com) and now bottle some truly remarkable whiskies! 

From the Sponge: "A hearty and juicy Caol Ila fully matured in refill sherry. A single 2nd fill sherry butt filled in 2009, matured for 12 years and bottled at natural cask strength of 56.3%.

Sherry and peat can be uneasy bedfellows in modern whisky, but this cask shows a lovely balanced profile of gently salty and gamey sherry with big, syrupy and tarry peat smoke. 

Please sip it in your local den of iniquity while 'chasing the Cooo-nicorn'."

700mL 56.3% ABV
