About
Caol Ila 18 Years is a refined single malt whisky from the iconic Caol Ila distillery on the island of Islay, Scotland. Aged for eighteen years, this whisky offers a harmonious balance between Caol Ila's signature smokiness and subtle maritime influences. Bottled at 43% ABV, it is known for its mild and rounded character, making it an ideal entry point for enthusiasts of Islay whiskies. On the nose, the whisky reveals an elegant layer of peat, accompanied by notes of seaweed and brine, with hints of citrus and overripe pineapple. The palate develops a fruity blend of apples and pears, followed by rich smoke and a touch of orange marmalade. The finish is long, offering a subtle pepperiness with maritime accents that betray its Islay origin.
