{"product_id":"caol-ila-12-ruby-port","title":"Caol Ila 12 - Ruby Port","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of trio of octave-finished Caol Ila casks, this 12-year-old release was matured in a 1st fill ruby Port cask and limited to 61 bottles. The cask brings red berries, chocolate and warming spice into contact with Caol Ila’s mineral, coastal smoke. Neither side disappears: bright citrus and medicinal peat remain present beneath the sweeter Port influence. Presented alongside the tawny Port and Madeira editions, this bottle shows how one Islay spirit responds to three distinct fortified-wine casks, with ruby Port producing the darkest fruit profile of the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and complex, with a deep chocolatey smoke and savoury barbecue sauce notes layered over sweet, dried berries.
