One of the most iconic distilleries in Scotland, Caol Ila is a quintessential Islay malt with all the maritime and peat-infused qualities that make the island such a legendary splendid source of collectible Single Malt whisky.

The peat profile is somewhere between Lagavulin and Bowmore, with a satisfying dryness in comparison to the more oily Ardbeg and fresher than the medicinal TCP-like Laphroaig. The smoke is earthier than that of Lagavulin and the aromatic profile punchier than the likes of Bruichladdich. In essence, it is a perfect Islay; capturing this most famous of Hebridean isles.

Founded in 1846 in the village of Port Askaig on the the shores of the Sound of Islay (from which the distillery draws it's name in Gaelic) Caol Ila's still room enjoys breathtaking views across the waters of the sound to the Paps of Jura, a windswept, dramatic and powerfully elemental vista that seems like a physical manifestation of Caol Ila's one of a kind spirit.

Founded in 1852 by Thomas MacKenzie and formerly known as the Dailuaine-Glenlivet Distillery, despite a location closer to Aberlour than the famed Glen of the River Livet, Dailuaine is a superb Speyside distillery, instantly recognisable for its iconic pagoda turrets so quintessential to the late 19th Century works of distillery architect Charles Doig.

Now distilling in its 170th year, Dailuaine finds itself at a crossroads in its existence, one with immense potential and a very bright future ahead. As the company looks to its malt distilleries to drive brand development, Dailuaine is poised for rediscovery as a world-class single malt. Gaining recognition as one of the iconic Flora & Fauna range alongside the likes of Mortlach and Blair Athol among many others, it is one of the most distinctive Speysides in the Diageo portfolio and a warming, feisty malt.

Thanks to a long 75-hour fermentation time, Dailuaine whisky is known to be quite a "meaty" make. Typically the traditional finish for this whisky would be Sherry casks with the "flora and fauna" releases representing the distillery's core range, this cask previously held some of the most expensive wines found in the Bordeaux left bank area; Chateaux Margaux wines. As a first fill cask, the whisky benefits from direct contact with the previously wine-soaked French oak, allowing the spirit to develop characteristics typically found in Chateaux Margaux's wines: cassis, truffle, and the signature scents of violets

A malt which has long been treated as a sherry bomb, it truly needs no help from overactive wood and indeed often rebels against all but the most rigorously selected sherry wood. Performing best in casks with a lighter touch, these refill hogsheads will afford them the best long-term potential.

In Jim Murray’s opinion, Glen Elgin is making a strong case to be Diageo’s top Speysider and that is saying something considering the portfolio includes the likes of Mortlach, Cragganmore and Dailuaine (among others). The flagship 12 year old bottled by the distillery is a phenomenal whisky for sure and shows a solid baseline for what the distillery’s pot stills can achieve.

Historically the backbone of the White Horse Blended Scotch whisky, Glen Elgin’s spirit is prized for its effortless balance and depth, making eloquent use of traditional pot stills and worm tubs instead of modern condensers mean that the resultant whisky has a fruity, forward profile that takes enthusiastically to sherry wood.

As the whisky matures it develops a fine, sweet smoke character reminiscent of mesquite or cherry wood fire as well as a smooth frangipani and hazelnut profile. This Glen Elgin is a wealth of potential in refill hogshead affording the customer the opportunity to re-rack into a cask of their choosing, offering excellent flexibility in terms of wood finishes or secondary maturation, all according to one's tastes.
