08-year-old

About

Caol Ila's 8-year-old expression showcases the distillery's signature fresh, maritime character with impressive cask strength intensity at 57.8% ABV. This unpeated single malt captures the clean, vibrant spirit that defines this Islay producer, offering a youthful yet sophisticated drinking experience. On the nose, vanilla and toffee notes emerge alongside bright citrus fruits that highlight Caol Ila's characteristic freshness. The palate delivers layers of spun sugar and toffee apples, balanced by tangy lemon and green apple, with subtle peat undertones adding complexity. The finish is medium-long and warming, with delicate hints of white chocolate and faint maritime brine fading gracefully.
