Caol Ila 12 and Lagavulin 8 Bundle

Description

Caol Ila 12——This 12 year old is the entry level bottling from the Caol Ila distillery, launched in June of 2002. This expression is light and fresh with distinctive Caol Ila smoke.  Caol Ila 12 Year Old is of medium weight, but still packing plenty of potent phenols. This is a refined, powerful dram with a compensating oiliness. A balanced, peaty beauty.

Lagavulin 8——200th Anniversary Edition: Lagavulin 8 was released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of Lagavulin distillery by John Johnston in 1816, this eight-year-old is big and smoky, with sweet spice that becomes apparent with a drop of water. Inspired by the visit of Alfred Barnard to the distillery in the 1880s when he tried an ‘exceptionally fine’ eight-year-old from the distillery, this is a fitting tribute for the milestone.
