Connoisseurs Choice 1988
from Caol Ila Distillery (cask strength)
Created in 1968 by whisky visionary, George Urquhart, over the years this range has featured single malts from almost 100 Scottish distilleries. Comprising more than 2,000 individual bottlings, each Connoisseurs Choice tells its life story through its label: cask type, bottling date, strength, vintage and tasting note.
Nose
Sweet baked APPLE and rich cured meats give way to an undertone of VANILLA. Dried TOBACCO notes lead to sweet smoke and a hint of ripe PINEAPPLE.
Taste
Bonfire embers and malted CEREAL are accompanied by a light menthol edge. Soft mint notes develop alongside dry LEATHER and a hint of cracked BLACK PEPPER.
Finish
Short finish with soft SMOKE and a hint of liquorice.
