Caol Ila 9 Year Old 2012 - Inverdarach Potstill Editions - No. 03 Tri (Ardgowan)

Caol Ila's classic Islay peat character emerges from nine years in a single hogshead cask, bottled independently by Ardgowan as part of the Potstill Editions collaboration. The relatively light maturation preserves vibrant smoke and brine against a backdrop of citrus and coastal minerals, with the small-batch provenance (186 bottles) adding scarcity and individuality. Young Caol Ila remains lively and spirited rather than heavy, allowing the distillery's maritime essence to dominate. An excellent snapshot of Islay's peated character for those seeking liveliness over wood dominance.
