Description
Signatory Vintage is one of Scotland's premier independent bottlers, celebrated for their "Very Cloudy" range which bypasses chill-filtration to retain the spirit’s essential oils and authentic texture. This 8-year-old Caol Ila, distilled in 2013, captures the raw, coastal energy of Islay’s largest distillery.
The nose is a vibrant collision of medicinal peat smoke, sea spray, and fresh lemon zest. On the palate, its unfiltered character provides a surprisingly rich, velvety mouthfeel. Intense flavours of bonfire ash and kippers are balanced by a sweet, malty core and hints of green apple. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering trail of salty smoke and citrus. This is a wonderfully transparent and textural expression of Caol Ila’s iconic maritime peat.
