Description

To commemorate the beginning of construction at the Ardnahoe distillery on Islay, Hunter Laing released this range of six single cask whiskies. Hand picked by Jim McEwan, the man himself said: "The whiskies in The Kinship range are a tribute to the brotherhood of Islay distilleries, of which I've been fortunate to be a part for most of my life, and now once again with Hunter Laing as we extend...". This Caol Ila 30 Year Old Kinship Edition No. 5 is a limited-edition Islay single malt, released by independent bottler Hunter Laing as part of the fourth edition of the popular Kinship Collection, commemorating the virtual Feis Ile of 2020.

Nose
Gentle wafts of peat smoke blend with orange peel, old leather books, salted seaweed, and roasted nuts. Hints of vanilla and beeswax add softness and complexity.
Palate
Elegant smoke balanced by citrus brightness, salted caramel, coastal salinity, and a touch of cracked pepper. The maturity offers depth and structure while preserving Caol Ila's lively spirit.
Finish
Long, refined, and beautifully layered. Lingering peat, warming spices, and a hint of menthol leave a memorable, sophisticated trail.
