description

Indie bottlers Gordon & MacPhail have done it again with this fabulous Caol Ila. It was distilled in 2003 and spent the following 15 years in a single first fill bourbon barrel. In June 2019, the barrel was drained and the whisky was bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for the brilliant Connoisseurs Choice series, with a limited 210 bottles released at a cask strength of 56.7% ABV.

Nose: Zesty notes of apple skin and lemon, with warmer aromas of stewed and spiced fruits, vanilla cream and salted caramel, with savory smoked meat and sea spray.

Palate: Loads of warming spices, a kick of ginger and chili, with banana milkshake, charred orchard fruits, espresso and mint tea.

Finish: Bonfire ash, pink grapefruit with a sprinkle of sugar and earthier peat smoke.
