Caol Ila 'Earth' 8 Year Old 2010 - Old Particular Elements Collection (Douglas Laing)

Caol Ila's peated character is refined through eight years in a single refill hogshead before Douglas Laing's May 2019 bottling at cask strength as part of their Elements Collection. This limited release—only 310 bottles—showcases earthy, maritime smoke tempered by the refill cask's gentle influence, allowing the distillery's mineral-driven peat to dominate. The cask strength delivery preserves the whisky's natural complexity without excessive alcohol burn, offering a balanced expression of Islay's terroir. An accessible entry point into Caol Ila for those seeking smoke without overwood influence.
