SMWS 53.333 Caol Ila 1990 29 Year Old Vaults Collection

Distilled in 1990 and matured for 29 years in a refill bourbon hogshead, this exceptional Caol Ila expression offers a masterful balance of Islay’s signature coastal character. On the palate, expect a complex interplay of medicinal smoke and brine, often described as bandages on a mermaid’s flipper, which reflects the deep, time-honored influence of its long maturation. Bottled at a powerful 54.9% ABV, this limited release of only 221 bottles captures a rare and sophisticated profile curated by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society from their historic vaults.
