This is a young Islay single malt from Caol Ila, bottled at cask strength from a single hogshead. At 9 years old and 58.2% ABV, it is likely to show a direct, energetic style with the distillery’s familiar smoky coastal character.
For a novice drinker, expect a powerful whisky with noticeable peat smoke and a punchy texture. Adding a little water may help open it up and make its smoky, maritime side easier to explore.
