Caol Ila Mission Gold 17 Year Old, Amontillado Sherry Cask, Cask #2301847-48, 2007, Murray McDavid, 53.2%

Since 1994, Murray McDavid has been pioneering the Art of Maturation, ageing whisky in casks that previously held fine wines and spirits. The Mission Gold series presents vintage, rare, and prestigious Scotch whiskies matured in traditional Victorian whisky maturation warehouses for excellence, exceptional balance, and all-round perfection. This exceptional single malt from Caol Ila Distillery was freshly decanted from its original cask into an Amontillado Sherry Octave cask for a secondary maturation. After 9 months in the 64-litre Amontillado Sherry Octave cask, this whisky showcases the intricacies that Sherry can offer.
