Description
The Single Cask Nation Caol ILa 2009 15 Year Cask#181342 57 % Alc 750mL
Distilled in 2009 at Caol Ila on Islay—a classic light-to-medium peat distillery foundational in blends and beloved as a malt in its own right
Matured for a full15 years in a refill bourbon hogshead (Cask #181342), then bottled by Single Cask Nation at natural 57% ABV, non-chill filtered
Tasting Note
-
Nose: Classic Islay peat, bright lemon zest, fresh coastal salinity, and green-branch smoke
-
Palate: Bold peat upfront framed by lemon, sea spray, and smoked meats; adds layers of icing sugar and black tea under water
-
Finish: Long, savoury, with lingering tar, burnt rope, coastal brine, and a hint of soot
The Single Cask Nation Caol Ila 2009 (Cask #181342) is a straightforward, powerful, and rewarding expression of classic Islay. Its 15-year age delivers depth, while the refill bourbon environment keeps the spirit’s lemony, peaty coastal charm intact. At 57%, it’s a refined presentation, ideal neat or with a splash of water to dial in complexity.
