Caol Ila 11 is a distinctive Islay whisky that diverges from the distillery's typical smoky profile. This special release showcases a complex interplay of fruity, spicy, and nutty notes, enhanced by various cask influences, including Sherry and rejuvenated oak. The whisky offers a creamy and oily mouthfeel, with prominent flavors of red fruits, vanilla custard, and caramel, complemented by subtle hints of smoke and brine. While this offering is beautifully crafted and aimed at collectors, some reviewers noted it could benefit from additional maturation to enhance complexity.

Getting all kinds of red fruit, Sherry notes, red wine.

That is some type of dank vanilla custard. This one did come in at a fairly reasonable European price.

I think this is one of those whiskies that it almost has to be like your one drink for the day because it is its own animal.
