This single cask bottling of an 11-year-old Caol Ila single malt was produced by the independent bottler Jack Wiebers in the Little Red Rooster series as Edition No. 7 Mr. Blue. The whisky was distilled in 2012, matured in an ex-bourbon cask and bottled at cask strength in 2024 with 168 bottles.
A small sample of the whisky is enclosed in a plastic egg.
Caol Ila means Sound of Islay and derives from the location of the distillery directly on the strait. Founded in 1846 and renovated from the ground up in 1974, it produces a mid-range Islay whisky.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
