Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 49.5%
A 40-year-old Caol Ila 1982 bottled in 2022 by Gordon & MacPhail for their prestige Private Collection series, a rare honour for any of the Elgin legends' casks and one for which only the very finest fancy wooden boxes will suffice.
This 1982 Caol Ila 40-year-old definitely seems worth the fuss, though - it's been bottled from a single refill American hogshead that yielded just 121 bottles at its tantalising cask strength of 49.5%. For anyone who loves long-aged 'natural' refill cask Islay single malt whisky, this Private Collection 40-year-old Caol Ila from G&M is going to be one of the best drams of the year.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Golden.
Nose: Fragrant tropical pine, apple and mango notes combine with spiced pear. Sweet Seville orange notes give way to subtle vanilla and rich smoke.
Palate: Cured meat flavours lead to citrus zest and a hint of walnut. Dried apricot comes to the fore alongside aniseed and black pepper.
Finish: Full and long finish with lingering honeydew melon and bonfire embers.

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
