Caol Ila Gleann Mor Rare Find Single Cask #1288 Whisky 42 Year Old · 1983 Vintage
In stock
Rare Find celebrates the close of its 10th anniversary year with a landmark release: a 42-year-old, single-cask, single malt Scotch whisky from Caol Ila Distillery, drawn from refill hogshead #1288—a tribute to the company’s inaugural bottling from the very same distillery.
Limited to just 42 bottles and presented at natural cask strength (51.7% ABV), this whisky embodies the brand’s “rare by design” philosophy. It offers aromas of Cuban cigars, candied tropical fruits, and delicate earthy peat, while the palate reveals notes of banana, lemon, minerality, and elegant smoke, culminating in a long, contemplative finish.

Nose
Cuban cigar smoke opens the nose, intertwined with candied tropical fruits, while a delicate thread of earthy peat weaves through the bouquet, lending refinement and a subtle mineral undertone.
Palate
Banana and lemon notes ride a fine minerality, with elegant smoke weaving through the palate, finishing long and contemplative.
Finish
Long and contemplative, the finish carries a maritime peat breeze and delicate smoke that lingers. Lemon zest and mineral salt weave through the fade, sharpening the brightness as the warmth slowly settles into a refined, lasting echo.
