Caol Ila 2014 Single Cask Little Brown Dog | Little Brown Dog

A Contemporary Sherried Islay Single Cask

Distilled at Caol Ila in 2014 and bottled by independent bottler Little Brown Dog, this single cask Islay release was matured in a refill Oloroso sherry hogshead before being bottled at natural cask strength. Combining Caol Ila’s elegant coastal peat with restrained sherry influence, this limited release delivers a smoky and spirit-driven interpretation of modern Islay whisky. Only 306 bottles were produced.

About the Distillery

Caol Ila has become one of Islay’s most respected distilleries for producing a cleaner and more elegant style of peated whisky, balancing maritime smoke with citrus brightness and oily texture. Independent single cask releases such as this often reveal a more raw and distillate-driven side of the spirit, particularly when paired with restrained sherry maturation.

About the Bottling

Little Brown Dog has developed a strong reputation for releasing characterful small-batch and single cask Scotch whiskies with an emphasis on individuality and transparency. This refill Oloroso matured Caol Ila allows the distillery’s coastal peat character to remain central while adding subtle layers of spice, dryness, and depth from the cask.

Please review all product images carefully. Minor cosmetic wear to labels, capsules, cartons, or presentation cases may be present due to age, long-term storage, or secondary-market sourcing.

Natural variation in fill level, packaging condition, and label ageing can occur in older releases and forms part of the character of mature collectible whisky.
