As I said several times, plays the 12 year old Caol Ila in the same league as the 12 year old Lagavulin and Ardbeg the 10-year-old, with the Ardbeg comes with significantly wuchtigerem smoke and Lagavulin is very balanced with also clearly smokiness. In a ranking, I would see the Lagavulin and Ardbeg at number one in second place very shortly before the Caol Ila. The Caol Ila, it is also drunk definitely value - or better - to be enjoyed.
