Caol Ila Distillers Reserve 2002 is one of the distillery's special editions.
Distilled in 2002, it was bottled in 2014. This is a limited and exclusive edition that has been aged in casks containing Muscatel wine.
The 2002 vintage is Caol Ila's entry into Diageo's Distillers Edition range, taking its usual smoked malt and finishing it in sweet Muscatel wine casks to give it an extra depth of sweetness.

| Vintage | 2002 | Tasting Notes | NOSE Wonderfully concentrated pure, clean Caol Ila – peaty and medicinal, with rich fruit, spicy and fragrant. With water, the fragrant smokiness comes singing through.
PALATE Sweetness and maltiness strike first, then are quickly overwhelmed by peat smoke and intense, clean, crisp flavours. Caol Ila’s signature smoky bonfires are here, and build to quite a size. Overall, drying, in a beautifully balanced, complex, elegant development with cinnamon spice.
FINISH An extraordinarily stylish and complex double-matured expression of Caol Ila; the Moscatel cask wood not over-evident; richly flavoured yet also drying and finely balanced. | | Package | Box | | Product Dimensions | 33 x 9 x 9 cm | | Volumetric Weight | 1.60 | | Storage Instructions | Storage away from direct light in a cool and dry place | | EAN | 5000281020990 | | Manufacturer/Producer | Caol Ila Distillery | | Country Produced in | Scotland | | Since | Thursday 25 August, 2022 | |
