A thoroughly awesome 1979 vintage Caol Ila, which was left in a single hogshead cask for four decades. After 40 long years, in October 2019 Douglas Laing bottled it up for its exceptional Xtra Old Particular The Black Series, with an outturn of just 160 lip-smacking bottles. Expect all those herbal, maritime notes we know and love from Caol Ila, at a cask strength of 51.2% ABV.
