Caol Ila 18 Year Old

Caol Ila’s eighteen-year-old shows how time softens Islay smoke without erasing it. The peat becomes more delicate and leaves room for fruit, citrus, honey and fine oak, with the usual briny touch. It is an elegant, complex smoky malt, less direct than the twelve-year-old, to drink neat and slowly.
