1984 Caol Ila 40 Year Old "Artist #15 - Something In The Water" La Maison Du Whisky Hand Selected Single Refill Hogshead Cask Strenght Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

******SPECIAL ORDER SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY - NEW YORK ARRIVAL IN 5-7 BUSINESS DAYS. NO REFUNDS OR RETURNS******* Just 99 bottles were drawn from this extraordinary 1984 Caol Ila, matured for 40 years in refill hogshead #8484006286 and bottled in 2025 at a natural cask strength of 51.3% ABV. Situated near Port Askaig, the distillery takes its name from the Sound of Islay and underwent a comprehensive rebuilding between 1972 and 1974. Its imposing stillhouse houses three 20,000-liter wash stills and three 14,000-liter spirit stills, placing this vintage roughly a decade after the rebuilt distillery reopened. Selected for La Maison du Whisky's Artist #15 Something in the Water collection in collaboration with Elixir Distillers, this single cask represents the oldest whisky in that six-release exploration of Islay. The Artist series, established in 2011, pairs whiskies bottled at natural cask strength with the work of contemporary artists. North Indian artist Radhika Surana illustrates this edition through indigo-dyed textiles and meticulous embroidery inspired by imagined journeys across Islay's rugged terrain. Her work Meandering through relationships I accompanies a remarkably small surviving parcel of Caol Ila from the mid-1980s.
