The Caol Ila 15 Year Old “Unpeated Style” was released in 2016 as part of Diageo’s Special Releases series, focusing exclusively on showcasing the diverse potential of Caol Ila’s distillate when not influenced by peat. This edition was matured for 15 years in a mix of refill American oak hogsheads and European oak butts, likely seasoned with Oloroso sherry, which imparted additional layers of dried fruit and spice to the whisky. Bottled at a robust 61.5% ABV, the whisky offers a rich and complex profile with notes of sweet malt, citrus, and subtle maritime influences, complemented by the deeper, more robust flavors from the European oak.
