From Islay’s largest distillery, this independent bottling from Signatory Vintage captures Caol Ila’s signature balance of smoke, sweetness, and coastal character. Distilled in 2015 and bottled at 100 proof (57.1% ABV), this whisky is young, bold, and brimming with energy.
On the nose, expect smoked seaweed, lemon zest, and charred oak. The palate delivers peat smoke, salted caramel, citrus oils, and peppery spice, carried on a rich, oily texture. The finish is long, smoky, and maritime, leaving a lingering sweetness beneath the peat.
A fine example of Caol Ila in its youthful, smoky prime, given extra depth by Signatory’s careful cask selection.
