- Description
- Distilled in 2008 and bottled at 53.2% ABV, this Caol Ila from The Whisky Exchange's Whisky Show 2024 series presents classic Islay character: layered smoke, rich nuts, and bright citrus. Fifteen years of maturation has integrated the peat into a cohesive, complex whole rather than a single-note expression. A well-crafted island whisky for those who appreciate balance within smokiness.
