- Description
- Caol Ila's coastal Islay position infuses this 2010 distillate with maritime character, independently bottled by Thompson Bros. after a decade in cask. The peaty, smoky profile is balanced by subtle briny, citrus notes and a dry, mineral finish typical of the distillery. Limited to 500 bottles, this suits Islay whisky devotees seeking authentic maritime peat without distillery markup.
