Caol Ila 25 Year-Old

43% Vol
Another Caol Ila that has been aged to perfection. This is often desribed as being silky smooth, and does not have any harsh oak notes sometimes found in whiskies at this age. The characteristic Caol Ila smoke is just a faint wisp and the overall impression is one of balance and gentleness.

FAQs
Islay whiskies are peaty because the island's distillers traditionally used locally cut peat to dry malted barley in their kilns, and many continue to do so. Burning peat produces phenolic compounds, primarily guaiacol and cresols, which are absorbed by the malt during the drying process and carried through distillation into the spirit. The specific character of Islay peat, formed from decomposed coastal vegetation, seaweed, and heather, produces the distinctive medicinal iodine, seaweed, and maritime smoke associated with Ardbeg, Laphroaig, and Lagavulin.
