I was very happy with his previous sample, an Unpeated Caol Ila 18 from 2017, so we both thought it would be interesting to see how the “standard” peated 18-year compares. Several observations follow: age isn’t everything, small differences in strength can produce meaningful differences in flavor, single casks can justify the risks… but mostly: Caol Ila can slay all day.

We have the right to transfer, assign the license granted by you to us, or grant licenses and sublicenses to our licensees, or have and allow them granting sublicenses to licensees to any other parties.On the second sniff there’s a meaty savouriness and some lemon and then the coastal notes begin to emerge: salt crystals, shells, kelp. The "Growing/vinification type" designation covers certified wines produced by biodynamic or organic methods, sustainably produced wines, and "environmentally friendly" wines that are not officially certified. Caol Ila – pronounced ‘cull-eela’ – means “Sound of Islay” and refers to the position of the distillery near Port Askaig overlooking the water that separates the island from neighbouring Jura. I could also wish for a push higher in ABV, as 43% is a little lackluster for an 18 year-old release.

Caol Ila 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has spiced, peaty, sea air notes, peppery flavours and a complex well-rounded finish. The three big Glens ( Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, and Glenmorangie) all have entrants of this age, as do dozens of other distilleries.A wonderfully balanced expression from the core Caol Ila range with a peaty finish and oaky smooth taste. The bottlings got older and older every year until it disappeared from the Special Releases lineup altogether in 2019. I have also found that any sulphur notes become much more pronounced with oxygen thus a single cask Ardbeg went from being ‘meaty’ to tasting like neat balsamic vinegar.

It's a beast, but sleek and sophisticated - if you add a few drops of water and give it time to air, you hardly feel the high ABV.

The subtle flavours really explode, especially the pineapple in the 18, and make these whiskies exceptional.
