The largest distillery on Islay, Caol Ila sits on the Sound of Islay overlooking the picturesque island of Jura. Most of Caol Ila ends up in blends, but it also produces a wide variety of peated & un-peated single malt expressions. This 25 Year Old was released after the success of the cask strength versions in 2004 & 2005, it is a sign of growing recognition of the quality of drams that come from this underrated distillery.

Soft smoke & leathery touches. This one unfolds nicely & gains power along the way. Finish: long, with apple peel, smoke & a hint of roasted coffee in the very end. ...
