Caol Ila 1982 / 40 Year Old / 50th Anniversary Islay Whisky

Caol Ila's 1982 vintage, aged 40 years in a pair of hogsheads and bottled at 49.5%, represents the distillery's maritime character fully integrated with decades of oak maturation. The profile balances classic Islay smoke with chamois leather, citrus oils, and dried herbs developed through four decades in wood. The texture is supple and complex, with a finish that evolves across the palate with both sweetness and maritime minerality. A benchmark old Islay for experienced whisky drinkers seeking depth and balance.
