Caol Ila 2007 17 yo Cask Strength, selected by Signatory, is a benchmark spirit for lovers of peated whisky from the island of Islay, Scotland. This single malt is born in the historic Caol Ila distillery, located on the shores of Loch Indaal, where the salty air and sea winds imprint a distinctly coastal character on the spirit. The whisky is bottled at full strength (cask strength), preserving the aromatic intensity given by the long aging.
Its bouquet opens with lively notes of smoked peat, wood smoke, and iodine hints, accompanied by sweeter scents of honey and vanilla, a result of maturation in oak casks. On the palate, it is powerful yet balanced, with a complex texture alternating shades of citrus, spices, and a fresh marine sapidity. The finish is persistent, with smoky returns and a slight spicy warmth.
Perfect for those seeking an authentic and complex experience in the world of Islay whiskies, this Caol Ila pairs excellently with dishes based on smoked fish, aged cheeses, or simply for meditative tasting.
