Caol Ila Stitchell Reserve Unpeated (Special Release 2013)
Named after distillery manager Billy Stitchell, who retired in 2013, this bottling honours his 39 years at Caol Ila, following in the footsteps of four previous generations of his family! The eighth unpeated Caol Ila single malt from Diageo's Special Releases, it matured in American oak, rejuvenated American oak, and ex-bodega European oak casks.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sweet and fairly innocuous at first. Hint of distant seaweed, citrus, chopped green apple. Some creamy fudge slowly develops.
Palate
Sawn wood, pine cones and some needles, those Haribo sweets that have the white bit on them (you know what I mean).
Finish
Wood spices, Rich Tea biscuits.
Overall
A lovely dram and an appropriate way to celebrate Billy Stitchell’s 39 years at the distillery.
