| About This Caol Ila: This Single Malt was moved into a Pedro Ximénez Sherry Cask for finishing – an intensely sweet and dark sherry complimenting the Caol Ila perfectly. The PX cask underwent a special process called New Era Of Cask (NEOC), to bring out the full flavour profiles of the sherry cask into the whisky. They are the first and only company to use this process in Scotch whisky. |
