Product Information

Speaking of wanting more, I revisited the aforementioned Samaroli bottle immediately after finishing this one.

This is a 18 year old with leafy and sweet palate, with the grassy and herbal aromas that makes for a perfect combination. Happy to place the last piece in the puzzle I’ll be considering a dram, hoping to add to my collection of favorites emblazoned with the big one-eight. Overall: 18 years in oak has not seemed to dull the Caol Ila peat like it does in other Islay malts. Something about Caol Ila’s stills (or its distillation processes) tamps down the peaty character and renders it less smokey.The video should provide you with a first impression of the whisky's taste and background details on the bottling. Long-time reader Jamie was kind enough to send me another sample, this time from his recent purchase of a bottle of Caol Ila 18 year (purchased in 2019). Es ist aber auch definitiv kein Whisky, den man so nebenbei mit jedem trinkt (er braucht Ruhe und etwas Zeit zum Entfalten), daher kann man vielleicht auch noch etwas mehr Geld ausgeben.

Any investment and purchase made, or action(s) taken based upon (information in) the Service may and will involve significant risk (such as, but not limited to loss, total loss). Fully modernized between 1972 and 1974, Caol Ila escaped the wave of closures sweeping through the Scotch whisky industry in the early 1980s. Very much a late night dram for Islay fans the phenols have been mellowed and the smooth oak has added more weight.I’m not the most influential bloke in whisky, but there’s enough of a consensus building here that I hope Diageo will take note and consider releasing this at an ABV that will highlight more of this wonderful distillery’s strength. However, the greater cask contact in a barrel means the first-fill oak has a bit too much influence here as well, making it more one-dimensionally sweet than I would like.
