About this Caol Ila

This Single Malt was moved into a Pedro Ximénez Sherry Cask for finishing - an intensely sweet and dark sherry complimenting the Caol Ila perfectly. The PX cask underwent a special process called New Era Of Cask (NEOC), to bring out the full flavour profiles of the sherry cask into the whisky. They are the first and only company to use this process in Scotch whisky.

About Spiritfilled's Mythical Beast

The Qilin is a creature of ancient folklore, its legend rooted in the myths of the East yet carrying a symbolism that feels equally at home in Scotland. Described as a noble, horse-like beast with a single horn and a mantle of sacred flame, it bears a clear resemblance to the Unicorn, the enduring national emblem of Scotland. Through this shared form, the Qilin becomes a link between traditions, bringing together eastern mythology and Scottish heritage, and representing the timeless virtues of wisdom, justice, and truth.

In old tales, the appearance of the Qilin is a sign of balance and good fortune, and those who encounter it are said to receive the blessing of prosperity. Rich in depth and character, with echoes of stories long past, the Qilin carries the spirit of ancient legend into the modern age, where history, myth, and craftsmanship continue to meet.
