- Description
- The discontinued 15-year-old Flora & Fauna bottling from Caol Ila represents an earlier iteration of the distillery's house style at 43% abv. This expression has become increasingly rare as the range was retired in favor of later distillery bottlings. Collectors value this as a snapshot of classic Caol Ila before the distillery's modern rebranding.
