Caol Ila 1981 / 21 Year Old / First Cask #285 Islay Whisky

Bottled in the early 1980s when single malts were still a specialist category, this Caol Ila 1981 showcases the distillery's maritime peat character with seaweed, brine, and warming coastal smoke. The 21-year maturation in refill casks has mellowed the raw spirit while preserving the signature Islay salinity. A rare window into how Caol Ila expressed itself before modern consistency standards. Seek this out for its historical significance and authentic expressions of Islay's peaty terroir.
