The distillery say "Casado (Portuguese for marriage) is a limited-edition bottling which was matured in fresh bourbon barrels for 6 years before 38 casks were selected and married together for 2 years in two 6,000 litres Portuguese red wine vats. The red wine marriage gives the whisky layers of red fruit and spices which complement the vanilla and butterscotch influence of the bourbon barrels beautifully” It is 50ppm and only 12,900 bottles were produced.

The distillery says: "The Madeira Cask Matured limited edition was distilled in May 2015 from our 50ppm Port Ellen malt, and matured for 5 years and 3 months in 46 fresh Madeira hogsheads, before being bottled at 50% abv. Kilchoman really lends itself to maturation in fortified wine casks. The rich fruity character of the casks balances nicely with the creamy citrus sweetness of our new spirit. My preference when using wine casks has always been to use fresh first fill barrels with a view to bottling the whisky relatively young. This approach means the lighter clean flavours and fresh maritime peat smoke aren’t overwhelmed by the cask influence”
The WSD think this has salted, smoked ham with soft fruits on the nose and soft smoky wood ash with summer fruits, citrus and salted hams on the palate.

Caol Ila - The smoothness & fine balance of Caol Ila 12 Years Old suggests the rounded shape of the stills, softly outlined in a cloudy day's 1st glimpse of the sun. Fresh & fruity, it is a classic expression of the Caol Ila character. Here are those spicy sea-air aromas and sweet smoky-dry flavours, elegantly expressed with a clarity and balance that comes from perfect maturation.
It is a closely guarded secret which distillery the Finlaggan is from but it is certainly a cracking Islay whisky.

The Vintage Malt Whisky Company tell us 'Many years ago, in a first for our company, we filled new make Finlaggan into Rioja Red Wine Hogsheads. Coming from the Rioja region within the Basque country of Spain, these Hogsheads have given our signature heavily peated Finlaggan an extra layer of rich mouth coating red berried fruits. The result is a truly mouthwatering sweet and smoky dram to savour.
