Caol Ila 2012-2023 | 10 Year Old | Old Particular | Single Cask DL16893
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Douglas Laing 70cl / 48.4%
A 10-year-old Caol Ila 2012 single cask bottled in 2023 by Douglas Laing without colouring or chill filtration for their Old Particular series.
This 2012 Caol Ila 10-year-old came from cask DL16893, a refill hogshead that yielded a generous 359 bottles at Douglas Laing's preferred Old Particular strength of 48.4%, roughly equivalent to the old 85 Imperial proof.
A natural Caol Ila of this age and strength is always a no-brainer for Islay whisky fans and this looks like very good value.
