Description
The Murray McDavid BENCHMARK 10 Years Old Caol Ila 2014 is a fascinating single malt Scotch whisky bottling from the Scottish island of Islay, which impresses with its special cask maturation and powerful variety of aromas. This whisky was distilled in 2014 and matured for a total of 10 years, with an exceptional finish in Pedro Ximénez sherry and Amarone wine casks - a combination that elegantly combines peat smoke, sweetness and fruity depth.
At 53.1 % vol. cask strength, non-chill-filtered and natural, this Islay single malt is in its purist form - strong, unadulterated and full of character. The typical smoky notes of the Caol Ila distillery meet the luscious sweetness of PX sherry and the intense fruitiness of Italian Amarone red wine. The result is a whisky with depth, structure and exceptional balance.
As part of Murray McDavid's benchmark series, this bottling stands for hand-selected casks, creative maturation processes and a clear promise of quality. It comes in a high-quality gift box, which makes it particularly attractive for collectors and discerning whisky lovers. (automated translation)
