Wilson & Morgan 12yo Caol Ila Cask Strength Virgin Oak was distilled in 2008, finished in virgin American oak, bottled in 2020.

Known as “Mr. Consistent”, Caol Ila is Islay’s largest distillery, pumping out 6.5 million litres a year. While they use the same malt as their smaller sister distillery, Lagavulin, the distillation regime at Caol Ila produces a lighter sweeter spirit, famed for its white sugar and peanut butter character. This bottling has had a 12 month finish in virgin American oak barrels.
