Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Douglas Laing 70cl / 48.4%
A 10-year-old Caol Ila 2012 single cask bottled in 2023 by Douglas Laing without colouring or chill filtration for their Old Particular series.
This 2012 Caol Ila 10-year-old came from cask DL16893, a refill hogshead that yielded a generous 359 bottles at Douglas Laing's preferred Old Particular strength of 48.4%, roughly equivalent to the old 85 Imperial proof.
A natural Caol Ila of this age and strength is always a no-brainer for Islay whisky fans and this looks like very good value.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Sweet barley initially but with a strong, underlying medical style apparent.
Palate: Bursting with coal dust and an earthy/soil character plus peat smoke.
Finish: A coastal saltiness lingers alongside BBQ’d meats and charred oak.
This was may boss's favourite distilliary and is fast becoming mine. Sheer enjoyment to sit down with a glass of this at the end of a bad weekend where the car broke down the passport office messed up our applications for renewal and I didn't have my computer since it was in for a valet. Hopefully it will behave a bit better now. The current alternative Glen Garioch pales in comparison.

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
