This Caol Ila boasts an incredible twenty-nine years of cask ageing and is a stupendous Islay whisky being both smoky and graceful in equal quantities.
This whisky was bottled by Duncan Taylor for their Dimensions range at 53.8% abv and without chill-filtration.
A waft of coastal peat smoke followed by stewing dried fruits, notably raisins, dates and currants. The there is a rich hint of Christmas cake chased with a little more smoke.
The saline coastal quality returns hand-in-hand with Java coffee beans and parma ham.
The finish is extraordinarily long with notes of fleshy stone fruit and smoked coffee beans.
An outstanding whisky, the high ageing of this Caol Ila has resulted in a wonderfully complex whisky perfect for contemplating late into the night.
