Adelphi Caol Ila 11 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 6 A curiously insipid bottling.

Berry's Own Selection Caol Ila 1996
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.00% 7 Intense and in character. A fairly simple Caol Ila but a goody.

Berry's Own Selection Caol Ila 26 Years Old, 1984
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.70% 8 I prefer this neat, but whatever your preference, this is an exceptional Caol Ila.

Blackadder Caol Ila 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.50% 8 Light in the middle, and delicate throughout, but lovely Islay flavours.

Cadenhead's Caol Ila 9 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 Youthfully powerful. Almost raw flavours, without being in any way spirity. Many Islay-lovers enjoy their whiskies young. This is a robust example.

Caol Ila 10 Years Old Unpeated
Single Malt - Scotland - 65.80% 7 There is a great difference between the nose and the palate. The alcohol is really aggressive on the palate. Better with water but still vibrant.

Caol Ila 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 Of the three expressions in this tasting, this is the most rounded and balanced. All the classic Caol Ila aromas and flavours are there, with no sharp edges. Vatted for drinkability?

Caol Ila 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 3 A balanced expression of peat in this version. A lot of intricate aromas in this dram.

Caol Ila 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% Again it's all about balance here. Subtle and versatile.

Caol Ila 14 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.30% 7 The palate does not have the nose delicacy. Water tones the alcohol down but brings out astringency. A Caol Ila? I would never have guessed.

Caol Ila 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 A wonderful aperitif. Smoked fish to follow?

Caol Ila 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.90% 8 Just one of a great clutch of smoky drams this time around.

Caol Ila 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 The most vegetal and assertive of the three expressions. Lots of contribution from the wood.

Caol Ila 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 2 Oak seems to have “digested” peat. The smokiness is restrained on nose as well on palate but surprisingly comes back on the finish.

Caol Ila 1984 23 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.00% 7 Awake up dram. Fresh,vibrant,wide open on the sea horizon. Bring bacon and eggs.

Caol Ila 1997 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.60% 7 All very poised and pleasant, but apart from its unusual provenance (an unpeated Caol Ila) not exceptional.

Caol Ila 1997 Hermitage Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00% 6 For me the finishing element has just been just a little overdone.

Caol Ila 23 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 60.00% 8 All the oily, waxy, junipery, bush-like flavours of Caol Ila, but the whiff of the sea comes late.

Caol Ila 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 Great nose but a little dry on the tongue.

Caol Ila 8 Years Old Unpeated
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.80% 7 A straightforward example of a bourbon cask maturation. A bit burning on the tongue for me but some like hot, don't they?

Caol Ila Berrys' Own Selection 1996
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.80% 8 Another marine fellow. Straightforward,muscular but not assertive. Invigorating.

Caol Ila Cask Strength
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.00% 8 The most fruity, fresh, peppery and lively of the three expressions. I loved all three. Scoring was a tough call.

Caol Ila Cask Strength
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.00% 8 Bold, well-balanced example, most drinkable.

Caol Ila Cask Strength
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.00% 3 Wood shows up more. Smoke is heavier and less sea-sprayed than the Bowmore.

Caol Ila Distillers Edition 1995
- Scotland - 43.00% 8 A charming nose which is not fully delivered on the palate. But an excellent dram all together.

Caol Ila Distillers Edition 1995 Moscatel Wood
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% I've lost the Caol Ila.[see Talisker conclusion]

Caol Ila Moch
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 Worth a look.

Caol Ila Unpeated 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 64.00% 8 An elegant, very drinkable Highland style dram.

Caol Ila Unpeated Special Releases 2007 8 Years Old
- Scotland - 64.90% 7 A taste of summer in winter.

Celtique Connexion Caol Ila 1982
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 A confusion of flavours that don't seem to have rounded in the cask

Chieftain's Choice Caol Ila 13 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 Here we go again...Caol Ila hits the nail on the head yet again.

Chieftain's Choice Caol Ila 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 The more Caol Ila makes itself available the more I seem to enjoy it.

Connoisseur's Choice Caol Ila 1988
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 Caol Ila can be a little gin-like. This bottling could be served like a Pimms. Mind you, no gin has such a long finish.

Cooper's Choice Caol Ila 1990, 14 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 A middleweight Islay malt.
