Caol Ila 30 Year Old 1979 - Old Malt Cask (Douglas Laing)

Tasting Notes

This Islay gem, the Caol Ila 30 Year Old 1979, is a true embodiment of the island's rugged character. Distilled in November 1979, it was left to slumber for three decades in a refill butt, allowing time to work its magic. The result is a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. Imagine the gentle caress of sea salt mingling with the smoky embrace of peat, while hints of vanilla and oak linger like a warm embrace. This single cask expression, bottled by Douglas Laing in January 2010, is a testament to the art of patience and craftsmanship. With only 266 bottles released, each sip is a rare and precious indulgence, capturing the essence of Islay in a glass.
