Caol Ila 2008 17 Year Old Palo Cortado Cask Finish Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky The Octave 70cl 52.5% ABV

ULTRA RARE SINGLE CASK — ONLY 83 BOTTLES – Distilled at Caol Ila Distillery on 22nd January 2008 and matured for 17 years before bottling on 11th September 2025, this single cask release (Cask No. 4048293) yielded only 83 bottles. Each individually numbered bottle represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a piece of Islay whisky history. PALO CORTADO OCTAVE CASK FINISH – Finished in a rare Palo Cortado Octave cask — a smaller cask format that accelerates and intensifies flavour extraction — this expression gains remarkable layers of dry nuts, dark dried fruits, leather and subtle chocolate from the Palo Cortado sherry influence, beautifully complementing Caol Ila's signature coastal peat smoke. BOTTLED AT NATURAL CASK STRENGTH — 52.5% ABV – Presented at its natural cask strength without chill filtration or artificial colouring, every drop delivers the full, uncompromised character that only time and craft can produce. A whisky of bold, complex intensity best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to open up its extraordinary depth. THE OCTAVE BY DUNCAN TAYLOR — SMALLER CASKS, BOLDER FLAVOURS – Part of Duncan Taylor's acclaimed Octave range, which has been successfully maturing award-winning single malts in Octave casks for decades. The smaller cask size imparts a distinct character and dimension that only nature, time and expert craft knowledge can provide. AN ESSENTIAL COLLECTOR'S ISLAY DRAM – With its combination of a legendary Islay distillery, 17 years of maturation, rare Palo Cortado finish and strictly limited 83-bottle run, this is one of the most compelling independent bottlings available for serious whisky collectors and Caol Ila enthusiasts alike.
