1991 Cooper's Choice Caol Ila 25 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml
Caol Ila(Gaelic for 'the Sound of Islay') is situated on the north eastern shores of the island, with magnificent views across the Sound to the spectacular Paps of Jura. The distillery's gently fruity-smoky style sets it apart and comes down to the production process: "...although it receives the same spec of malt as sister distillery Lagavulin, Caol Ila’s distillation regime – longer fermentation, higher cut point and taller stills, help to reduce the heavy phenols." Extended maturation further integrates the peat.
Rather than the heavy peat styles synonymous with Islay, this whisky carries a more refined, smoky, maritime influence making it a great match for foods like smoked salmon & oysters.
