This single cask bottling of a 10-year-old Caol Ila was produced by the Scotch Malts Whisky Society under the name Salt N Sauce - In Celebration of the Islay Whisky Festival 2021. The whisky was distilled in 2010, matured in a 1st fill shaved, charred & re-toasted barrique and was bottled at cask strength in 257 bottles in 2021.
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.
