70cl / 57.5% / Gordon & MacPhail - A 2005 Caol Ila single malt that was matured in a single refill sherry hogshead for 15 years, before being bottled in January 2021 by Gordon & MacPhail, exclusively for The Whisky Exchange. Aromas of autumn spices, aniseed, stewed plums and bonfire embers fill the nose, complemented by notes of black pepper, baked apples, sultanas and toasted oak throughout the palate, with hints of smoke lingering in the finish.
