- Description
- This Caol Ila was aged for 20 years before bottling as part of The Vintage Malt Whisky Company's Cooper's Choice series, capturing the island's distinctive maritime and smoky character fully matured. Two decades allow the peat smoke to integrate with subtle fruit and maritime brine while the wood imparts warming spice and vanilla. A balanced Islay expression suited to those who appreciate smoke with depth.
