On each bottle are the dates of the whiskey, as well as a small story for bottling.

Caol Ila
Caol Ila is considered an insider tip, compared to other Islay whiskeys it is light - but it has an intense peat taste.
Most of the production is stored in Bourbon barrels, so that this bottling, matured in a Mourvedre Syrah barrel already represents a real exception.
Most of the production goes in blends like Johnnie Walker, so that the bottlings as single malt are relatively small.
