Caol Ila 30 Year Old 1980 - Old & Rare (Douglas Laing)
A beautiful single cask, 30 year old Caol Ila from Douglas Laing's wonderful Old and Rare Platinum Selection. This was distilled in November 1980, and it was matured in a refill hogshead before bottling in August of 2011 at natural cask strength.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Hints of pepper and tropical fruits. Some passion fruit, guava and maybe even some mango too, alongside mint leaves, barley and toffee.
Palate
Digestive biscuits, spicy oak, quite tannic and gripping, hints of green plums, camomile and honey.
Finish
Fruity and spiced.
