Special features: The Caol Ila 2012/2026 is a 14-year-old single malt whisky from the Scottish region of Islay, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail. This whisky is offered without chill filtration and has an alcohol content of 55.9%. It matured in a cask classified as a 1st Fill Sherry Hogshead. The strong, smoky character is typical for whiskies from this region and is supported by fruity and sweet notes.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: On the nose, maritime smoke and salty sea air combine with aromas of raisins, dark fruits, chocolate, and subtle spices. Dense peat smoke meets fruity notes of dates, figs, and toffee, complemented by a hint of orange peel.
• Palate: The taste is full-bodied and sweet, with rich sherry notes of raisins and molasses. Creamy caramel combines with robust smoke, while spicy facets of cinnamon and clove, as well as a nutty note, dance on the palate.
• Finish: The finish is very long and sweet-smoky, with sticky dried fruits, dark chocolate, gentle oak, and a warm, ashy smoke note.

Distillery/Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail is an independent bottler and distiller of Scotch whisky, founded in 1895 in Elgin, Scotland. The company has been family-owned by the Urquhart family since its inception.
