Caol Ila 17 Year Old 1997 Unpeated (Special Release 2015)

Caol Ila's unpeated 1997 distillate offers a rare glimpse of the distillery stripped of its signature peat character, matured for 17 years in ex-bourbon casks before bottling at cask strength for Diageo's 2015 Special Releases series. Without the heavy smoke, Caol Ila's underlying maritime and honeyed grain characteristics emerge with greater clarity. This bottling reveals what lies beneath the distillery's more famous peated expressions, making it essential for those curious about Islay's full spectrum.
