24-year-old

About

Caol Ila's 24-year-old expression is an elegant and complex Islay Single Malt that demonstrates the refinement of decades of maturation. This commemorative bottling, released for the distillery's 175th anniversary, marries Islay's characteristic smoky signature with unexpectedly sophisticated fruit notes. At a robust 52.1% ABV, this whisky delivers a rich mouthfeel and layered flavour profile that strikes an impressive balance between peat and sweeter elements. The nose reveals a seductive blend of buttery pastry, citrus fruits, and dried fruits, followed by hints of heather honey and sea salt. On the palate, gentle smoke waves are accompanied by vanilla and honey, complemented by citrus, berries, and a pleasant briny maritime note. The finish remains complex, with persistent peat and elegant fruit layers that linger beautifully.
