CAOL ILA 9 ans 2015 1st & 2nd Fill Oloroso Sherry Butts 100 Proof Signatory Vintage

This Caol Ila 2015 was aged for 9 years in oloroso sherry casks before being bottled at 57.10%. Intense and smoky, this Islay single malt opens with notes of peat, leather and acacia wood. The 100 Proof range refers to the British system of measuring alcohol content, which corresponds to the famous “Navy Strength”. At 57.1% proof, this range highlights a variety of distilleries, which express themselves with great intensity while retaining the aromatic richness typical of Signatory Vintage's ageing expertise. A range to take tasting a step further, and rediscover the ageing expertise of this independent bottler. Founded in 1846 on the Isle of Islay, Caol Ila overlooks the Sound of Islay. Renowned for its fine marine peat, it has long supplied Johnnie Walker's blends. Despite a complete rebuild in 1974, it retains a distinctive style: smoky, salty, balanced. Today, its single malts appeal to connoisseurs and independent bottlers alike.
