Single Malt Whisky Caol Ila "Connoisseurs Choice", 1998 was distilled on Islay distillery Caol in the best traditions of the island of Islay producers. Purest lake water, which is used in the preparation of whiskey, alcohols provides crystal clarity. In turn, the use of oak barrels of sherry first filling the maturation of whiskey drink provides a golden color and delicate peat taste with pepper notes.

Caol Ila - distillery is located in the northeastern part of the island of Islay, near the port Askeyg. Caol Ila has been built in 1846 by Hector Henderson, who also owned the old plant Camlachie in Glasgow. This is a fairly isolated location was chosen not accidentally Henderson - The nearby Loch Nam Bam, known for its clear water. In 1926 Caol Ila became the property of DCL. Distillery almost never stops working, except for the period from 1930 to 1937. In 1972, production has been completely renovated. Only preserved old warehouses filled at the time maturing whiskey.

Brand "Connoisseur's Choice" is well known among connoisseurs of whiskey. Under this brand are produced single malt whiskey, which are produced by little-known distilleries, facing the threat of closure and disappearance. From 1980 to 1995, in Scotland was closed 29 distilleries, some of which are entirely ceased to exist, and some indefinitely suspended its work. The reasons for closing are different, but it would be a pity to lose all whiskey produced at these distilleries. Each of these hard liquor has its own unique properties that could never be obtained with production at any other distillery. It is for this reason, Gordon and McPhail for many years bought up in bulk malt from little-known distilleries, thus saving them from closing. All made of whiskey and thus began to be produced under the brand name "Connoisseur's Choice".
