- Description
- Islay is the heart of Caol Ila 28 Year Old 1983 from the Dimensions range. Tagged by some as 'Smokey', this 28-year-old single malt brings elements of 'Old Wood' and 'Leathery' complexity together with its 54.2% ABV. At £118.49, it's a curious blend of medicinal hints and 'Kippery' undertones. A place that speaks through its whiskeys.
