Product description

Product description
This 10-year-old Caol Ila is part of the benchmark series from independent bottler Murray McDavid, who is based in Speyside at the Coleburn distillery. He bottles a wide variety of Single Malts, Grains and Blends in his various series. In the Benchmark series, whiskies are matured in selected casks. This Single Malt Whisky from Islay was finished in Italian Amarone wine casks and sweet PX sherry casks, which gave the cask-strength single malt a wonderful balance of fruit, sweetness, spice and the classic Caol Ila smoke. The bottle is designed with a thicker glass base and a high-quality wooden grip cork. The elegant packaging and label of this bottling shine in a fresh colour scheme of silver and green tones.
