Caol Ila 1984 34 Year Old Connoisseurs Choice

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 52.5%

Matured in a refill sherry cask for more than three decades, this 1984-vintage Caol Ila single malt was bottled in January 2019 for Gordon & MacPhail’s Connoisseurs Choice range. It has a rich, fruity character, with notes of raisins, red berries and cinnamon throughout the palate.

Tasting Note

Nose

Delicate vanilla complements savoury smoked cured ham aromas; strawberry and cream highlights add a depth of sweetness. warm spice stewed apple notes linger over the subtle oak undertone.

Palate

Mouth-warming; initial cracked black pepper softens and reveals notes of baked apple with hints of clove. Aniseed flavours develop, balanced by candied citrus peel.

Finish

Bonfire ash and salty notes linger on the finish.
