The Caol Ila Distillerie — owned by Diageo — is a production machine, cranking out 3.5 million liters of the peaty amber liquid each year. But their Whisky is in high demand as a core component to dozens of premium blends. In fact, the major blends take 95% of production, leaving only 5% to go into their signature single malts.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Where a young peated Whisky can whip you in the face with charcoal and campfire smoke, it is amazing what time does to this classic Islay dram. A full eighteen years of patient maturation calms the harsher phenols into a gourmet tray of\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; smoked delicacies\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. You are left with a creamy, smooth, and dense single malt that lingers on the palate with a savory sweetness and pronounced notes of fresh-picked herbs. Where some lesser Islay Whiskies are like chain-smoking a pack of Marlboro cigarettes, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Caol Ila 18 Years Old \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;is like \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;a fine Dominican Cigar \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;on a chilly evening by the sea.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45130186457270,"sku":"15110","price":52.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/caolila18yearold-700ml_15110_01_9ec9f8fa_dacc3b09-dea4-4c63-9d7e-6d08299ddf51.jpg?v=1779036985","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/caolila18yearold-700ml-15110","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
