Caol Ila 1981 / 21 Year Old / First Cask #280 Islay Whisky

70cl / 46% / First Cask - A rare single cask release of Caol Ila from 1981, bottled as part of the First Cask range. This whisky was distilled in January 1981 during a vintage era for Islay malt, and it is the complexity of expressions like these that underscores why local distillery Port Ellen was deemed unnecessary during that period.
