Caol Ila 10 Year Old Adelphi's Islay is a classic Islay single malt Scotch whisky, independently bottled in 2026 by Adelphi Selection. Matured in bourbon hogsheads and bottled at 46.0% ABV, this 10 year old expression showcases Caol Ila’s elegant combination of coastal peat smoke, citrus freshness and sweet malt. Caol Ila is known for a refined and approachable style of Islay peat, often combining smoke and salinity with lemon, orchard fruit and gentle sweetness. Maturation in bourbon hogsheads allows that distillery character to remain firmly in focus, adding layers of vanilla, honey, coconut and soft oak without masking the maritime spirit underneath. Bottled by Adelphi Selection, this release offers a clean and expressive take on Caol Ila, with the 46.0% ABV giving the whisky good texture and flavour while retaining balance and drinkability. It is an excellent choice for fans of classic bourbon-matured Islay whisky and independently bottled Caol Ila.
