Caol Ila 2007/2025 - 17 y.o. - 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt #3 - Sig CS

Special features: This 17-year-old Caol Ila was bottled at cask strength by Signatory Vintage and matured for 17 years in a First Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt. With an alcohol content of 57.8% and a limited edition of 673 bottles, this single malt presents itself in its purest form, unfiltered and without coloring.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Strong peat smoke, accompanied by sweet dried fruits and a slight saltiness. Hints of walnuts and citrus notes round off the aroma.
• Palate: Oily and full-bodied with elegant power. Sherry spice, raisins, and dates combine with dark chocolate, coffee, and a salty sea breeze. The smoke is present but silky integrated – more smoldering than aggressive, with beautiful depth.
• Finish: Very long, warm, and aromatic. Smoke, bitter cocoa notes, orange zest, and spicy oak accents linger, accompanied by a subtle sweetness from the butt.

Distillery/Bottler: The Caol Ila Distillery was founded in 1846 by Hector Henderson and is located on the east coast of the Scottish island of Islay, near Port Askaig. It is known for its clear, maritime, yet elegant house style. Today, the distillery belongs to the beverage giant Diageo and is the largest on the Islay islands.
