Caol Ila 2007/2024 - 17 y.o. - Amontillado Sherry #2301847-48 - Murray McDavid

Special features: This 17-year-old Caol Ila Single Malt Whisky was bottled by Murray McDavid as part of the "Mission Gold - Octave Trilogy." After its distillation in 2007, it matured in Amontillado Sherry Octaves and was bottled in 2024 with an alcohol content of 53.2%. The limited edition consists of only 174 bottles, making it a coveted rarity for collectors and connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Inviting aromas of milk chocolate, figs, and orange marmalade, accompanied by subtle peat smokiness and a light maritime minerality.
• Palate: Initially sweet, followed by a dry spiciness and an oily texture. Notes of tobacco, orange marmalade, and refined peat smoke harmoniously combine.
• Finish: Medium-length, with hints of chocolate, dry wine, and spicy peat smoke reminiscent of chili flakes.

Distillery/Bottler: The Caol Ila Distillery, founded in 1846, is located on the east coast of the Scottish island of Islay and is known for its robust, peaty single malts. Murray McDavid, an independent bottler, was established in 1994 by industry experts such as Mark Reynier and has made a name for itself through innovative finishing in exquisite casks.
