SIGNATORY VINTAGE CAOL ILA 2012 9YR

Sweet malt, pineapple rind, and fresh peach open this single cask Caol Ila, backed by vanilla, gentle brine, and herbal smoke before a clean, lightly spiced oak finish. That lighter, grassy peat profile traces directly to the distillery's source water — peat-filtered Loch Nam Ban — and Caol Ila's position on Islay's northeastern coast overlooking the Sound of Islay. Signatory Vintage pulled this from a single bourbon hogshead (cask #318281, 372 bottles), distilled June 20, 2012 and bottled April 5, 2022 at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered with natural color.
