Caol Ila 14 Year Old 1996 - Old Malt Cask (Douglas Laing)

Tasting Notes

Immerse yourself in the rugged allure of Caol Ila 14 Year Old 1996 - Old Malt Cask by Douglas Laing. Distilled in September 1996, this whisky spent a leisurely 14 years maturing in a refill hogshead, allowing it to develop a depth of character that can only come with time. Bottled in September 2010 as part of a limited release of 329 bottles, this Old Malt Cask offering is a true gem. Expect a robust and smoky profile, reminiscent of the windswept Islay coastline, with hints of sea salt and iodine mingling with notes of sweet peat and a touch of vanilla. The palate is rich and bold, with a lingering finish that will leave you craving another sip. A rare and exceptional dram that showcases the true essence of Islay whisky.
