I wouldn’t say they get better, but they definitely change. All the scents and tastes are the strongest on the first day. Smoke/peat taste is the first one to fade and it was noticeable already after a week with Ardbeg. I think it happens with Caol Ila as well - it is perfectly smoky right after opening and then slowly decays over time to become more brimey.
Have you tried Caol Ila distillers edition?

Far far prefer caol ila to ardbeg personally! Do bottles get better after opening?
