- Description
- Zero ratings don't speak for a 31-Year-Old Caol Ila from 1979, but the price at £127.95 makes one ponder. With an ABV of 58.0%, it promises a 'Smokey', 'Leathery', and 'Old Wood' experience that might be a steal or a gamble. Tough to resist when numbers seem to murmur possibilities.
