- Description
- Released in 2024 to celebrate Caol Ila's 175th anniversary, this 24-year-old single malt reflects the distillery's coastal position through a light, warming profile that deviates from typical heavily peated Islay styles. Well-rounded maturity in oak has softened the peat into something more approachable and refined. Limited to 3,000 bottles, this represents a moment of celebration for a distillery with deep roots. A bottle for collectors and those who appreciate Caol Ila's softer, more nuanced expressions.
