- Description
- Caol Ila's distinctive maritime character emerges from 13 years in a bourbon cask, distilled in December 2007 and bottled by House of Macduff in March 2021. The Islay peat smoke integrates with briny minerality and subtle citrus, softened by the ex-bourbon wood's vanilla notes. The texture is dry and slightly astringent, with a long smoky finish. Perfect for those who appreciate Islay's signature peat without overpowering intensity.
