Connoisseurs Choice 2003
from Caol Ila Distillery (cask strength)
Passion for single malt Scotch whisky has been at the heart of our family business for four generations. This range is an ever-changing collection of unique perspectives on distilleries’ own bottlings, non-chill-filtered single cask and small batch expressions bottled at cask strength — exceptional one-offs.
Nose
Light touches of smoke weave around crisp green apple, sweet poached pear and creamy vanilla. Subtle hints of salt linger, while maple cured bacon adds a subtle sweetness.
Taste
Mouth-coating oiliness infused with ground ginger and chilli flakes. Toasted banana and freshly ground coffee beans fade to reveal a delicate menthol edge.
Finish
Long lingering finish as twists of lemon zest pair with a satisfying peat smoke.
