Caol Ila Gordon & Macphail 1988/32YO 52.7% 700ml - Connoisseurs Choice

These venerable Caol Ilas promise to take your Islay experience on a different trajectory, heading off into an altogether more refined and delicate direction than your average teenage peat bomb. Add refill Sherry Butts to the mix and the complexity and richness should be even further amplified. 518 bottles have been released globally. Non-chill filtered.

Nose: Rich vanilla and freshly- baked shortbread aromas lead to delicate lemon peel with an undertone of spice. Hints of baked apple and brazil nut give way to subtle smoke. Taste: Intense sweet stewed fruit combined with a hint of cracked black pepper and vanilla. Fragrant orange oil and toasted almonds are complemented by rich, encompassing smoke. Finish: Long and smooth; bonfire ash endures on the finish.

Alc: 52.7%
