Distilled at Caol Ila Distillery. Footnotes: Caol Ila 25 Year Old Flora & Fauna is a highly sought-after and now discontinued release from the iconic Flora & Fauna series, originally released during the late 1990s. Featuring the distinctive harbour seal label synonymous with the collection, this bottling beautifully captures the maritime identity and elegant smoky style for which Caol Ila has become renowned. Part of the celebrated United Distillers Flora & Fauna range - a series curated to highlight exceptional yet once underappreciated distilleries - this release has since become one of the standout collector favourites within the entire series. The Flora & Fauna collection itself holds significant importance within whisky history, having introduced many enthusiasts to distilleries that would later become some of the most revered names in Scotch whisky. The series was notably shaped with input from legendary whisky writer Michael Jackson, further cementing its historical significance and collectability. Bottled at 43% ABV and matured for 25 years, this expression showcases a beautifully refined and mature style of Caol Ila. The whisky combines gentle coastal smoke with notes of sea air, liquorice, dried fruits, soft peat, and subtle maritime salinity, delivering a profile that is both elegant and deeply complex. With the bottling now long discontinued and only limited quantities originally released, examples have become increasingly difficult to source, particularly in high condition. Collectors are especially drawn to early Flora & Fauna bottlings due to their historical importance, distinctive label artwork, and increasingly scarce availability within the secondary market. Today, the Caol Ila 25 Year Old Flora & Fauna is regarded not only as an exceptional mature Islay whisky, but also as a nostalgic and iconic bottling from one of Scotch whisky's most influential collector series.
