Douglas Laing still refer to this as a vatted malt, and will continue to do so until the law changes when they may have to refer to it as (horribly) “a blend of malts”.

At that time they might even take the same line Prince did by printing "previously known as a vatted malt".

Politics apart they have chosen to vat (and name) the four Islay malts that they marry to make this regional un-chilled filtered beauty.

They think the decanter is so attractive that they do not even gift box it and it has found an ever increasing and ready market around the world.

No need to gild the lily!

Nose: firm barley and peat: this could almost go snap. Taste: is this really Caol Ila? The fruit is a shrinking violet to the massive peat attack which is crisp and lean. Finish: usually the palate is by now swamped in oil; instead there is smoked flavoured cocoa and a sprinkle of mollased sugar. Balance: is it the wine at work here? Something appears to have removed the usual gushing oil and crispier Caol Ila is a charmer, a real class act. Jim Murray's Whisky Bible: 94 Points.
