CAOL ILA 30 YO LMDW ARTIST#3 REFILL HOGSHEAD#6488 1982-2013 54.4% This Caol Ila was distilled in 1982 and bottled in 2013 after maturation in refill hogshead #6488. Selected by La Maison du Whisky as Part 3 of their Artist Collection.? One of 228 bottles. Replacing the magnificent Caol Ila Artist of our 2013 Collection was an ambitious challenge. This version, twice its age, manages to do this with panache. Even better, it challenges the preconceived idea that ?old Caol Ilas? tend to lose their peaty and smoky characteristics as they get older. Make no mistake, this is a salty old sea dog that has not lost any of its initial flair and has always kept its feet firmly rooted in Islay peat!
