CAOL ILA 7 ans 2017 Barbados Rum Finish Foundations Douglas Laing

With its ten fermentation vats (eight wooden and two stainless steel), three wash stills with a capacity of 20,000 litres and three spirit stills with a capacity of 14,000 litres, Caol Ila is the largest distillery on the island of Islay.

First aged in a refill hogshead, then matured for two years in a cask containing rum from Barbados, this single cask tactfully asserts its island character. As the tasting progresses, it reveals highly original sugar cane and agave flavours.
