Caol Ila 27 Year Old 1984 vintage Islay single malt Scotch whisky.
Bottle Information
Bottler: Douglas Laing & Co.
Cask Type: sherry cask
Type: Single Malt Scotch
Tasting Notes
Nose: Vibrant sweet sherry, brimming with citrus fruits, barley, peat smoke, polish and a feint note of emergency room. Palate: Full bodied - heavily sweet sherry, mandarin marmalade fruit explosion leading to tangy lemon peel, barley sugar with a soft malty coating of oil and a pinch of sea salt. Finish: Long, warm and satisfying, more mandarins, lingering sherry, spices and smoke. Overall incredibly well balanced.
Caol Ila 27 Year Old 1984 vintage Islay single malt Scotch whisky. To celebrate the launch of our new web site TheWhiskybarrel.com 2.0 we thought a fitting memento was required and what better way than to raise a dram. Specially picked out by our chums at independent bottlers Douglas Laing a Caol Ila matured on Islay throughout its 27 years in a sherry hogshead fits the bill perfectly. Bottled at cask strength and without any nonsense. Just 120 bottles are available and each individually numbered. The label features a fitting tribute to this remarkable distillery which has nestled in the Sound of Islay since 1846.
