Caol Ila 2004 Connoisseurs Choice

Distilled on the rugged Isle of Islay in 2004 and bottled in 2018 by independent bottlers Gordon & MacPhail, this Caol Ila represents a rare opportunity to experience a single malt from a distillery historically favoured for blending. This expression, from their esteemed Connoisseurs Choice range—pioneered in the 1960s—showcases the distillery’s character in a way uncommon for its time. Expect a robust and smoky profile, characteristic of Islay whiskies, with notes of peat, brine, and a subtle sweetness. At 46% ABV, this 70cl bottling delivers a full-bodied and complex taste of Islay’s maritime influence.
