More questions
The Caol Ila 15 years 2008 selected by Wilson & Morgan represents a refined example of Scottish malt whisky from the island of Islay, renowned for its characteristic peaty and iodized aromas. This single malt comes from a precise distillation that preserves the essence of the marine terroir and salty breezes, typical of the Caol Ila distillery.
After fifteen years of maturation, the whisky presents an intense aromatic complexity: on the nose, fragrant notes of sweet smoke are perceived, along with accents of citrus and touches of delicate vanilla, followed by a persistent mineral imprint. On the palate, it expresses a balance between the creaminess of the smoky nuances and the freshness reminiscent of the Scottish coast, with a pleasantly long and slightly spicy aftertaste.
Perfect to enjoy neat or with a dash of water, this Caol Ila 15 years is ideal to accompany smoked fish dishes or aged cheeses, enhancing the culture and tradition of the island of Islay.

The story
The business origins are linked to the Rossi family, wine and oil merchants based in Treviso. In the 1960s the family began importing whisky; in 1992 Fabio Rossi founded the current Wilson & Morgan project dedicated to the selection and bottling of prestigious single malts. Over time the house became known for small-quantity releases and for the use of re‑casks and finishes in casks of different origin.
Ageing
Maturation and ageing in casks; practice of re-casking/finishing in sherry, bourbon and occasionally in casks previously used for Marsala, rum or port for special editions.
