Caol Ila 1974 / 23 Year Old / First Cask #12470 Islay Whisky

This exceptionally rare 1974 Caol Ila, aged 23 years and bottled by the now-defunct First Cask imprint, represents a snapshot of Islay whisky from a critical transitional period in Scotch production. Without modern descriptions available, the age and era suggest a mature coastal peat character tempered by decades in wood. Bottles from this bottler are increasingly difficult to source. Collectors and serious Islay enthusiasts should view this as a historical artifact as much as a drinking opportunity.
