If consistency would be a competition, than Caol Ila might just win. This Islay distillery produces consistently good, sometimes even great whisky, as this Caol Ila 2004/2016 from Gordon & MacPhail once again proves.
Providing you love whisky, and don't live under a rock, you must've heard about Gordon & MacPhail's revamp of their Connoisseurs Choice range. This week I'll take a closer look at some of their new whiskies, starting with this Caol Ila.
I don't doubt that if Diageo wanted, it could easily promote Glen Elgin as a single malt. With long fermentation times and the use of worm tubs, its spirit is simply that good.
A few months ago, Gordon & MacPhail launched one of the more eye-popping Scapa whiskies in recent memory. At 30 years old, it has to be one of the oldest ever whisky's from this distillery.
