Description

Caol Ila 1978 23 Year Old Rare Malt bottling.

The Rare Malts were a series of cask-strength whiskies first released in 1995 by DCL (later to become part of Diageo).

This edition was distilled in 1978 and bottled at a very high strength of 61.7% ABV.

Please note as this is a vintage bottle, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary - please note mark to front label and creasing to box. Some years can vary as estimations only (example: estimated 1970s/80s).

Tasting Notes

Nose: Incredibly crisp and fresh at first nosing. Lemons with brine and some light peatiness. But that develops into more of a smouldering campfire with a touch of rubber.

Palate: Brine and peat, with tar, smoke and lots of vanilla sweetness. Very vegetal and spicy as well. Black pepper and nutmeg. Broccoli. Finally some citrus fruit and mango.

Finish: Long with plenty of brine and peat smoke.
