Caol Ila. Reimagined in Red.
Some Whiskies tell a story. This one paints it in deep Rioja red. Our latest release from the Old Particular Red Wine Cask Collection brings you Caol Ila 18 Years Old, finished in a Single Rioja Wine Cask. The result? A daring collision of smoke and sea salt with the bold fruit and spice from one of Spain’s finest reds. Think peat fire meets vineyard warmth — rich red berries, sweet oak, a touch of salt, and a finish that lingers like embers.
A rare Rioja finish. Never to be repeated.
