Tasting Notes

Nose Soft coastal smoke, sea spray, lemon zest, and polished oak with hints of honey, vanilla, and gentle medicinal peat.

Finish Long and elegant, with lingering maritime salinity, gentle peat smoke, soft pepper spice, and warming oak.

Caol Ila 25 Year Old is an elegant and beautifully mature Islay single malt Scotch whisky, presented as an official distillery release from Caol Ila Distillery. Bottled at 43.0% ABV, this distinguished expression showcases the softer and more refined side of Caol Ila’s iconic coastal peat smoke after a quarter century of maturation.

Extended ageing brings remarkable balance and sophistication, allowing the distillery’s signature maritime character to evolve into a silky and complex whisky layered with gentle smoke, citrus oils, sea salt, polished oak, and subtle sweetness. Unlike younger, more intense Islay malts, Caol Ila 25 Year Old delivers a beautifully integrated style where peat smoke becomes elegant, refined, and deeply nuanced.
