Caol Ila is one of my favorite Scotches on the planet. I drink a lot of extraordinary things in my life, but even a guy like me has certain go-to favorites. I favor whisky from the Island of Islay, and certainly my favorite distillery on the island is Caol Ila. It's almost always done in a very peaty (smoky) style. The maritime salinity combines with the smoke in an unusual way that is signature Islay.
Last week, we drank a rare unpeated 15 year old. This week, we go VERY RARE. Only 63 Bottles were produced. It's a 30 Year old Caol Ila from cask 405022, distilled and barreled in 1983, bottled by the merchant Duncan Taylor. This is bottle #16.
We will open one bottle at 6:30 precisely. I hope you will join us.
