A wonderfully balanced expression from the core Caol Ila range, this 18 year old is malty and thick with notes of Caol Ila smoke and phenols, a lovely Islay single malt without extreme levels of peat.

One of the best ,not so peaty ,well balanced ....and the discussion where to store (Diageo....)and to distill it is funny.... Together with bowmore´s 18 year old its a good choice for a dram or two after a hard day.....
A bowl of smoky ice cream drizzled in honey next to the seaside.
After the first sip this whisky has been one of my favourite. Amazing in this price category. The best Caol Ila tested.
The best whisky I can remember drinking. Easily.
This is probably not the best Caol Ila and not the best 18 year old I have tried. But it's unique in its own right. Floral notes.
