This is a 13-year-old Islay single malt from Caol Ila, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for its Discovery range at 43% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The whisky spent thirteen years in bourbon casks chosen by the bottler. Caol Ila is made from malted barley peated to roughly 30 to 35 parts per million, and the American oak softens and sweetens its coastal smoke. The nose offers vanilla, apple, apricot and cured meat, with peat smoke in the background. On the palate come white peach, lemon, sponge cake, oatcakes and smoked cheese, with a briny edge. The finish is long, with burnt sugar, earthy peat and a slightly maritime aftertaste.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
