Caol Ila 12 Year Old Madeira Octave Finish (Rare Find) Fèis Ìle 2026 – 57.9% – 70cl – 66 Bottles A vibrant, coastal Caol Ila with a twist: this 12-year-old single cask was finished for three months in a Madeira octave for Rare Find’s Fèis Ìle 2026 Collection. The Madeira finish brings a lifted, zesty sweetness that plays brilliantly with Caol Ila’s ashy smoke and seaside salinity.
