Caol Ila 1990 / 35 Year Old / Whiskyland Chapter 28 Islay Whisky

This 35-year-old Caol Ila from 1990, aged in a refill hogshead and bottled at 44.5% ABV, presents mature coastal peat alongside unexpected refinement from extended wood contact. Green tea, oyster shell, and iodine create a briny, mineral profile that moves beyond smoke-forward Islay stereotypes. The refill cask has preserved peat character while allowing the spirit's underlying complexity to emerge. A sophisticated Islay for drinkers who value aged maturity and coastal terroir over youthful intensity.
