Dramfool Middle Cut Caol Ila 15yo
As part of our long promised inaugural release of Dramfool’s Middle Cut, we are delighted to present a 15 year old Caol Ila distilled on 4th July 2008 (a perfect dram to celebrate Independence Day, if it lasts that long in the cupboard!), matured for 13 years in a bourbon barrel before being transferred into a fresh refill Bordeaux red wine barrique filled within days of being emptied for bottling as an unpeated release in our Jim McEwan Signature Collection release #1. Finished for over two years, adding a balance of fruit and flavour - when a cask is that impressive why not use it twice!
The Dramfool mantra of ‘only bottling whisky we like’ sits deeply at the core of all we do. Inspired by generations of distillers who create this remarkable drink, who choose the right cut of spirit that eventually becomes the whisky we enjoy and discard the others - we strive to do the same.
