Special features: This Caol Ila was distilled in 2016 and matured for 10 years in a 1st Fill Chardonnay Butt. The bottling is done by Best Dram, an independent bottler known for its carefully selected single cask bottlings. With a bottling strength of 57.6%, this whisky offers a robust profile. This edition carries the number #9 and delights with a robust aroma that is typical of the characteristic features of the Islay distillery.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose reveals bright citrus notes and green apple, accompanied by fine vanilla sweetness and a salty note.
• Palate: The taste is powerful and oily, with juicy yellow fruits and creamy sweetness, followed by subtle peat smoke.
• Finish: The finish is long-lasting and dry, marked by mineral saltiness and elegant citrus zest.

Distillery/Bottler: The Caol Ila Distillery is part of the Diageo group and is known for its heavily peated single malt whiskies. Best Dram, founded by Michel Reick, personally selects the single casks from Scotland's whisky regions and bottles them at cask strength, unfiltered and without coloring. This approach preserves the natural character of the whisky and allows for unique tasting experiences.
