Sixth and final stop in the 15th edition of the Artist range dedicated to Islay single malts, this venerable 40-year-old expression drops anchor near Port Askaig, home to Caol Ila distillery—whose name means “Islay Strait” in Gaelic. Entirely rebuilt in 1972, save for its warehouses, the distillery reopened in 1974. Boasting an impressive stillhouse with three 20,000-litre wash stills and three 14,000-litre spirit stills, it is now the largest distillery on the island. Radiant with maturity, this expression unveils a flavour and aromatic palette of rare complexity—luminous and subtle—through which wisps of smoke drift gently in a clear blue sky.
