The Victim is the sixth and last bottling of the Chess Investigation series, which closes the investigation around the famous Islay distillery, Caol Ila. Bottled at its natural degree, this version distilled in 2008 comes from a single hogshead cask, reconstituted from staves of ex-bourbon and new oak. It brings a soft and slow maturation, letting express all the aromatic richness of this distillery revered by peat lovers. This ageing process gives a peaty and smoky whisky, sublimated by the influence of time. Intense and balanced, this Caol Ila is rich and complex with a lovely long finish. The king is trapped, locked in his cask in the middle of a humid and misty cellar on the island of Islay, his capture is inevitable … Checkmate!
