This series 'The Magic of the Cask from the 2019 Whisky Show in London was designed to showcase the influence of the cask on whisky. This Caol Ila was aged in a very old cask from the historic Sherry Bodega - Gonzalo and Byass. Cool label as the details are hidden unless you shine a UV light at the label.
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
