Surprisingly vibrant and medicinal for a 15-year-old Caol Ila, this release by Gordon & MacPhail stands out between all the young, sometimes pre-teen Caol Ila we've seen in recent years.
Torsten Paul Whisky Company has teamed up with Roger's Whisky Company for a collaboration slash showdown between the two of them. This is a battle between two octave matured Caol Ila.
Watt Whisky plans on releasing 3 or 4 batches per annum. And if the median quality of this first batch is anything to go by, it promises great things for the future.
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.
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.
