- Description
- Caol Ila's July 2012 distillate rested in hogsheads for nine years before Signatory released it un-chillfiltered and at natural strength from paired casks in June 2022. Islay's maritime character—brine, smoke, and seaweed—defines this single malt, with the hogshead maturation allowing the spirit's inherent phenolic character to develop cleanly. Bottled without chill-filtration to preserve texture and subtle flavour layers. Perfect for Islay enthusiasts who value transparency over smoothness.
