A single cask Caol Ila single malt. The 2008 vintage Islay whisky was aged in a refill American hogshead cask (#312778) and then bottled at 15 years old, at a cask strength of 57.9% ABV in 2023. Bottled without colouring or chill filtration by Gordon & MacPhail for its Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength range.
Fragrant vanilla pod gives way to sweet cured meats and red apple. Lime zest infuses with malted biscuit and mature oak.
Smooth and smoky with peanut brittle giving way to rich honey. Bright butterscotch gives way to floral influences and soft black pepper.
Long and spicy with lingering citrus peel and bonfire embers.
