Key Facts About This Single Malt Scotch Bottler: Brave New Spirits Range: Cask Masters Bottled for: Islay Festival 2025 Distillery: Caol Ila Region: Islay, Scotland Age: 13 years Distilled 11/05/2011 Bottled: 14/03/2025 Cask Type: First fill Chateau Chizay (Ukraine) White Wine barrique Cask Ref: 2322501/20|| Alcohol by Volume: Cask strength, 53.9% Outturn: 258 bottles Bottled: Natural colour and without chill filtration Bottle Size: 700ml Awards: 96 Points by IWSC; Silver, Single Cask Single Malt, 13-20 Years, Scotch Islay category at World Whisky Awards About this Brave New Spirits whisky Bottled especially for Islay Festival 2025, this 13-year-old Caol Ila from Brave New Spirits is a distinctive release within the Cask Masters range, showcasing how carefully selected wine casks can elevate Islay peat without overwhelming it. Distilled on 11 May 2011 and bottled on 14 March 2025, this single malt has been finished in a first fill Château Chizay white wine barrique from Ukraine, before being bottled at natural cask strength (53.9%), with natural colour and no chill filtration. Just 258 bottles were released. Caol Ila’s spirit is known for its clean, precise peat smoke and coastal minerality, making it particularly well suited to sympathetic wine cask finishes. Château Chizay, located in the Transcarpathian wine region of Ukraine, is renowned for expressive white wines with bright acidity and aromatic clarity. When used as a finishing cask, this style of white wine barrique tends to bring freshness, citrus lift, and subtle orchard fruit rather than overt sweetness or heavy tannin. In this expression, the white wine influence adds an elegant counterpoint to Caol Ila’s smoky core, enhancing the whisky with layers of crisp fruit, gentle florality, and a lightly structured mouthfeel. The peat remains unmistakably Islay in character—smoky, maritime, and assured—but is framed by a brighter, more refined profile that feels particularly fitting for a festival bottling. The quality of this release has been widely recognised, earning 96 points at the IWSC and a Silver medal in the Single Cask Single Malt, 13–20 Years, Scotch Islay category at the World Whiskies Awards. For Caol Ila enthusiasts, festival bottling collectors, or those curious about the influence of high-quality white wine casks on peated whisky, this is a thoughtful and highly accomplished release.
