No box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rare US-market bottling of Caol Ila 1975, released at 20 years old as part of United Distillers’ celebrated Rare Malts Selection. Bottled at a formidable natural cask strength of 61.12%, the label also gives the traditional American measurement of 122.2 proof, and this US edition was presented in the larger 750ml format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rare Malts Selection was launched in the mid-1990s to showcase older stocks from distilleries within United Distillers’ extensive portfolio, with each release bottled at natural cask strength and generally produced in relatively small quantities. The series has since become particularly collectable, especially for early releases and bottlings from distilleries whose official single malt output was limited at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistilled in 1975 and bottled around 1996, this 20-year-old dates from an era when Caol Ila was still comparatively little known as a single malt, with much of the distillery’s production historically destined for blending. These older Rare Malts releases played an important role in demonstrating the quality and character of mature Caol Ila long before the distillery developed the substantial official single malt range familiar today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58691738009981,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Caol Ila 1975 - 20 Year Old - Rare Malts 61.12% - USA-Lot Id:0626-517","offer_id":58691738042749,"sku":"0626-517","price":330.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/0626-517-1_9eca6fad-18cb-477e-bc8e-320d30b373e3.jpg?v=1789594177","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/caol-ila-1975-20-year-old-rare-malts-61-12-usa-lot-id-0626-517","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
