Caol Ila 1969 15 years old - Gordon & MacPhail - 75cl

A remarkable historic Islay single malt from the legendary Caol Ila distillery, distilled in 1969 and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail after 15 years of maturation. It was bottled in the 1980s for the Italian importer Sestante Import.

Caol Ila is one of the most significant whisky distilleries on the island of Islay. Vintages from the late 1960s are particularly sought-after today due to their age and the distillery’s changing history. This whisky dates from a time when Caol Ila’s production was still significantly smaller than in later decades.

The combination of an early Caol Ila vintage, an independent bottling by Gordon & MacPhail and the Italian Sestante import makes this bottle an interesting collector’s item for enthusiasts of historic Islay bottlings.
The bottle is Nr.: 13
