Caol Ila 2007 13 Years (Torsten Paul Whisky Company)
A mature example of a young-ish Caol Ila, this is a great pick by Torsten and surprisingly affordable—I’ve seen Caol from the late 2000s go for much higher prices.
Caol Ila 2003 15 Years Old (Gordon & MacPhail)

Caol Ila 22 Years Old (Feis Ile 2019)
Most of the Caol Ila releases for Feis Ile from the last few years were relatively young (from what I remember). This year’s edition is an exception though.
Caol Ila 1990 28 Years Old (WhiskyNerds)
A WhiskyNerds release always gets the juices flowing. This time around they bottled a 28yo Caol Ila from a refill Oloroso sherry cask.
