PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Caol Ila 13 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, part of Gordon & MacPhail's Discovery Series, is a quintessential Islay dram that artfully balances smoky intensity with vibrant fruitiness. Matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 43% ABV, this expression showcases the distillery's signature peat character alongside a medley of sweet and savory notes.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Sweet vanilla and dry-cured meats glazed with luscious apricot jam, complemented by ripe bananas, apples, and gentle peat smoke.
Palate: A full-bodied experience featuring juicy tropical fruits like pineapple, kiwi, and banana, brushed softly with icing sugar. Light touches of malt and vibrant lemon peel balance the sweetness.
Finish: Long and luxurious, with hints of sweet marshmallow toasting over gently smouldering bonfire embers.
This expression is a testament to Gordon & MacPhail's expertise in cask selection and maturation, offering a nuanced and accessible introduction to the smoky profile of Islay whiskies.
43% ABV, 750 ml
"In an effort to modernize, the 122-year-old company Gordon & MacPhail overhauled all its ranges in April 2018. Its new Discovery range emphasises taste profiles over distillery provenance, and this 13 year old Caol Ila is meant to showcase Islay's smoky flavors." The Distiller
The spirit of this single malt Scotch whisky was sourced from Caol Ila Distillery before Gordon and MacPhail matured it in its own casks for its new introductory range, Discovery. It was aged for a total of 13 years before being bottled at 43% ABV.
Bottle Size: All bottles are 750ML unless otherwise noted.
21 and Over: Adult Signature Required
