Single Malt
Master of Malt exclusive!
Those folks at Douglas Laing have a knack for picking out a good single cask when they see one, and this one from Caol Ila is a cracking example! Distilled in January 2011, it spent the next 11 years maturing in a refill butt, until it was bottled up in January 2022 for the Old Particular, Fanatical About Flavour series. With a total of 314 bottles released, this one is a Master of Malt exclusive don't you know, so you won't find it anywhere else.
Classicly coastal with chalky grist, salty spray, peat, and tar.
Mouth-coating, oily malt leads the way for a hefty hit of spice. Medicinal peat smoke with smouldering embers and earthy ash are lifted by a touch of seaweed and lemon zest.
Drying charcoal, yet more seaside bonfire character with sooty salinity and wood smoke. Dried fruits, cinnamon, and mixed spice bring zesty, peppery warmth.
So earthy and briney initially, then a citric kick and unmistakably Caol Ila smoke. A dram for sipping outdoors, ideally on the beach and ideally with a bonfire.
Incredibly complex. Incredibly Islay. Incredibly excellent.
