Connoisseur's Choice Caol Ila 16 Years 2002 is an Islay single malt independently bottled by Gordon & MacPhail at 46% ABV, supplied in a standard 700ml bottle. Distilled in 2002 and matured for 16 years, it delivers balanced coastal peat without overwhelming intensity. Its aroma carries smoldering seaweed smoke, fresh lemon zest, briny sea spray and subtle vanilla malt sweetness. Medium-bodied and well-rounded on the palate, it blends soft medicinal peat, bright citrus fruit and gentle oak spice. The lengthy smoky-salty finish captures classic Islay maritime character, favoured by connoisseurs for its restrained, approachable peated profile.
