Berry Bros. & Rudd Caol Ila 18 Year Old 2007 Cask #319464 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Berry Bros. & Rudd Caol Ila 2007 is a limited 18 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky selected for the Crafted in Cask collection. Distilled at Caol Ila in 2007, this single-cask expression was matured in a hogshead and given a Moscatel finish before being bottled in 2025 at 48.6% ABV. Only 78 bottles were released.

The Moscatel finish adds concentrated fruit and caramelized sweetness to Caol Ila's distinctive maritime peat. Coastal smoke and ripe red cherries lead into honeyed apricot, spiced plum and gentle wood smoke, while the distillery's oily character carries the whisky toward an ashy, briny finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with smoked salmon, grilled prawns, barbecue pork, mature cheddar, roasted nuts or dark chocolate with dried fruit.

Tasting Notes: Coastal and smoky with ripe red fruit, honeyed stone fruit, caramelized sweetness, spice and maritime salinity.

Palate: Honeyed apricot and spiced plum develop alongside caramelized sweetness, oily malt and gentle wood smoke.
