- Description
- Douglas Laing's Old Particular series captures Caol Ila at 10 years from a single refill hogshead, distilled October 2012 and bottled in 2023. The refill cask lets Islay's characteristic seaweed, smoke, and briny minerality shine without heavy wood interference, delivering a clean, maritime profile. At natural strength from just 359 bottles, this is Caol Ila's core character—elegant peat without theatrical heaviness. Ideal for Islay purists seeking undressed distillery character.
