An exciting Caol Ila single malt, distilled in 1980 and laid to rest for 40 years in a refill hogshead that yielded 206 bottles at an impressive cask strength of 54.6% ABV. Released under the Xtra Old Particular series by Douglas Laing in 2021, this single cask bottling proves to be tremendous as the Islay peat smoke fades and the spirit’s quality shines through.
NOSE
Sea salt, with subtle yet enticing phenols unfolding.
PALATE
Leather notes mingle with the sweetness of malted barley, complemented by spices and honey-glazed BBQ meat, resulting in a savory-sweet profile.
FINISH
A long finish with lingering peat smoke, zesty orange peel, and a smouldering bonfire.
