Caol Ila 13 y.o. G&M Discovery in GP

Special features: The Caol Ila 13 years is part of the Discovery series by Gordon & MacPhail and comes from the Scottish island of Islay. This whisky offers a strongly smoky flavor profile that is typical for the region. Bottled with an alcohol content of 43% and presented in a tube, it showcases the identity of the producer. The Discovery series includes whiskies with different flavor profiles, including bourbon cask, sherry cask, and smoky.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose is sweet and savory at the same time, with fruity apricot jam, vanilla, and honey-glazed ham fresh from the oven. Behind it, a light maritime peat smoke emerges, creating a successful contrast to the sweet notes.
• Palate: On the palate, a smoky profile comes to the fore, underlined by tropical fruits like pineapple, kiwi, and banana. Additionally, notes of lemon cake drizzled with icing, as well as warming malt notes, are present.
• Finish: The finish is long and elegant. Campfire smoke is caressed by sweet vanilla and the scent of toasted marshmallows, reminiscent of the fiery experience by the campfire.

Distillery/Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail is an independent bottler of Scotch whisky and was founded in 1895 in Elgin, Scotland. The Discovery series was launched in 2018 and offers three distinct flavor profiles: bourbon cask, sherry cask, and smoky. The single malt comes from the Caol Ila distillery, known for its characteristically smoky whiskies.
