Caol Ila 17 Year Old 2007 Cask Strength Collection Signatory Vintage 70cl, 57.7%

Description

Caol Ila 17 Year Old 2007 Cask Strength Collection Signatory Vintage 70cl, 57.7% is a mature Islay single malt Scotch whisky bottled by Signatory Vintage as part of the Cask Strength Collection. Distilled on 28 September 2007 and bottled on 5 February 2025, this 17-year-old release comes from a single first-fill oloroso sherry butt, cask number 6, and was bottled at its natural cask strength of 57.7% ABV.

This bottling brings together Caol Ila’s trademark coastal peat smoke with the deeper richness of sherry maturation, creating a profile that feels both powerful and composed. The first-fill oloroso butt adds darker sweetness and spice, while the distillery character still shows through in the smoky, maritime core. The point about the balance between distillery character and cask influence is an inference based on the published cask type and retailer tasting notes.

With an outturn of 677 bottles, this is a limited single-cask release that will appeal strongly to drinkers who enjoy independently bottled Islay whisky with proper age, natural presentation, and a more individual character than standard distillery releases. It is also bottled without added colour or chill filtration.

Collector’s Note

This is exactly the kind of Caol Ila bottling that attracts attention from independent whisky buyers: a solid 17-year age statement, a 2007 vintage, single-cask presentation, cask strength bottling, and a clearly stated outturn of 677 bottles. The first-fill oloroso sherry butt adds further appeal because it gives the whisky a richer and more assertive profile than a more neutral refill cask would usually provide. The point about the cask influence being more assertive is an inference based on the stated first-fill oloroso maturation rather than a direct producer claim.
