- Description
- Zero ratings make it hard to judge Caol Ila 20 Year Old purely by numbers. However, with an ABV of 51.5% and a price of £104.42, it's not the cheapest dram. Tagging it as 'Smokey' and 'Medicinal', some might find its character intriguing. This could be a bold choice for those seeking something distinct.
