Caol Ila, 18 yr old, Single Malt Scotch Whisky

700 ml, 43% abv, Scotland (Islay)

Age introduces a golden colour and complexity to this 18 yr mellow, amber Caol Ila. It starts smoky-sweet on the nose then drinks smoothly, showing a sweet yet sour character. The long-lived finish evokes a distant, smouldering beach bonfire.
