Gordon & MacPhail’s Caol Ila 13 Years Old DISCOVERY is an impressive single malt Scotch whisky that combines the essence of this historic Islay distillery with the expertise of the independent bottler. As part of the Discovery series, launched by Gordon & MacPhail in 2018, it forms part of a selection of whiskies that highlight different flavour profiles. The series comprises three main categories – Bourbon Cask, Sherry Cask and Smoky – to offer whisky enthusiasts a clear introduction to different flavour profiles.

This Caol Ila pays homage to the distillery’s characteristic smokiness. Characterised by intense peaty notes, gentle sea breezes and a balanced sweetness, it combines the typical Islay characteristics with Gordon & MacPhail’s signature style. The careful selection of casks enhances the deep flavours and gives it a complex, harmonious structure. Yet it remains approachable and well-rounded, offering an exciting tasting experience for both newcomers and seasoned connoisseurs alike.
