Murray McDavid describes their Benchmark Isle of Islay Caol Ila Single Malt Scotch Whiskey aged 13 years and finished in Tokaji wine casks this way: "Distilled 2009, Bottled 2024, No. of Bottles 327. Producing a highly prized peated spirit, Caol Ila Distillery is our main supply from the Isle of Islay. We continuously achieve unique flavours to this smoky spirit by using interesting casks. Nose: Cured meat, smoky honey & quince. Palate: Grilled peach & tropical peated malt. Finish: Sweet orchard fruits & warm embers. After 18 months of additional maturation, the exceptional integration and balance of the raw peat and elegance of the Hungarian oak is an absolute triumph in the Art of Maturation."
