Caol Ila 29 Year Old 1984 Old Malt Cask Anniversary is a rare and highly collectible Islay single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Hunter Laing & Co. to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of their Old Malt Cask series. Distilled in 1984 and matured for 29 years in a single refill hogshead (#13608), this exceptional expression was bottled in November 2013, with just 224 bottles released.

Produced at Caol Ila Distillery, this long-aged single cask showcases the distillery’s signature smoky yet elegant style. Refill hogshead maturation allows the spirit’s natural balance of peat smoke, citrus, and maritime character to shine, while decades of ageing have added depth, softness, and complexity.
