Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 45%
A very special old 35-year-old Caol Ila 1969, bottled at 45% from a pair of refill sherry hogsheads by Gordon & MacPhail for their Private Collection range in 2004. A magnificent interplay of peat, sherry and old oak flavours.
The Caol Ila distillery in 1969 was very different from the enormous distilling plant we know and love today. Prior to 1972, when the old distillery was pulled down and rebuilt, Caol Ila had only two stills - both direct-fired with worm tub condensers - and distilled their own floor-malted barley. We hear the term 'liquid history' a lot, but this 1969 Caol Ila 35-year-old is the genuine article.

Lightweight, thin on flavour and not much in the way of a finish. Certainly not worth paying the “Distillers Reserve” premium over their standard single malt.
Have not opened it yet - being chased for a review
This shop has been chasing me for a review about this product several times now but I still haven’t opened it yet. I cannot say anything about it. Not everyone buys a whisky and opens it within a few weeks of arrival. Make of this what you want.
