    Product details

    Caol Ila 40 Year Old 1979 - Xtra Old Particular The Black Series (Douglas Laing)

    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.

    Fantastic

    Absolutely the best whiskey I’ve ever tasted in my entire life and I’m 62 years old.
