Caol Ila – 1988 Claret Wood Finish – G&M Private Collection #97/307

Distilled on the rugged Islay island in October 1988, this Caol Ila single malt showcases the distillery’s signature smoky character, further enriched by a unique claret wood finish. Bottled by the esteemed Gordon & MacPhail as part of their exclusive Private Collection, this expression offers a complex interplay of peat smoke, dark fruit notes, and subtle spice. A limited release of just 2100 bottles, it represents a rare opportunity to experience a beautifully matured Islay whisky from a celebrated vintage. Expect a long, warming finish that echoes the coastal origins of this exceptional spirit.
