Caol Ila - Try it!

Yet another terrific Islay malt has made its way to US shelves. I had a cask strength bottle of this about eight years ago and loved it; the new version is ten years old and "regular" strength (43% alc.). It's got lots of peat and smoke but it's not as overwhelming as some of the really out-there Islays.

I can't find an official site, but here's a good description of the whisky and its history: http://www.scotchwhisky.net/malt/caol_ila.htm.

I picked it up at the amazing MacKinnon's Liquors in Cazenovia, NY.
