Description

This is a limited edition cask strength release of Caol Ila from the Flora & Fauna series. Distilled in 1981 and bottled in 1997 at 63.8% ABV, this 16-year-old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is part of a range originally conceived by United Distillers (a predecessor of Diageo) to highlight individual distilleries. The series was nicknamed 'Flora & Fauna' by whisky writer Michael Jackson due to the botanical and wildlife illustrations on the labels. [cite: Scotch Whisky Auctions, 3, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13]
