Caol Ila 11 Year Old 2010 (cask 105) - Cask Strength Collection (Signatory)
This 11 year old single cask, Islay single malt from Caol Ila was distilled in November 2010 and initially matured in refill hogsheads, before moving to a fresh sherry butt. After 16 months, when all the fruity sherry character had mingled with the characteristic Caol Ila smoke, it was bottled up at a cask strength of 56.8% in June 2022, with an outturn of 702 bottles. Independently released for Signatory's Cask Strength Collection.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Smoked bacon, bursts of ripe cherries, dried vine fruits, and a hint of damp ashes.
Palate
Oily, with drizzles of creamy caramel, raisin-studded fruit compote, cocoa nibs, and plenty of sherry character mingling with BBQ smoke.
Finish
Sherry sweetness lingers alongside drying oak, and smouldering embers.
