Caol Ila – 25 Year Old

This is a 25-year-old Islay single malt from Caol Ila, a remote distillery in the north of the island, close to the small village of Port Askaig. The distillery's character was first described in 1846, and this bottling stays true to it. After 25 years of maturation the peat smoke is less pronounced than is usual for Caol Ila. It is described as elegant and finely balanced, with sea air on the nose and a palate of sweet, smoky and dry flavours.
