Today we have our first example of a Cadenhead's Cask strength series. From by far the finest independent bottler in Scotland. This 17 year bottle is a true masterpiece.

I'll never forget mike and i talking and he said that he just liked to sometimes hear how good a whiskies was he'd never get. And I realized...I'd done the same. Ever sense, the fear of reviewing a bottle limited to 200 bottles, didn't matter. But we're all about adding followers here, but we want them to be into the whisky.

Haha great review. I was laughing at your enthusiasm then realised I might have been looking at this bottle last week? Need to go check again :-)

When we both get this excited about a whisky, it’s not because it’s the weekend. 😉

I got the 20cl of this, fell in love with it and sourced the 70cl! Such a good dram

I love 20cl sizing. Dustin and I have recently talking about this but what a great amount to really get to know whisky and yet keep the cost reasonable.

sounds like an amazing bottle! looks sold out by online retailers, only 204 bottles so that's not surprising.

We looked around for more and couldn't source any. I'm sure some hole in the wall somewhere has a few tucked away waiting for the right buyer though.

Huge fan! This beauty sounds so delicious! As soon as I heard peat like tobacco and mint I was starting to look to availability of the Caol Ila! There are only a couple of hundred bottles?! Yikes! It’s amazing that you got hold of one! Talk about enticing! Cheers Mike and Dustin!!

I just needed a second bottle to justify the shipping costs for the PC18. I had no idea this was going to be the better bottle. Sometimes in life we just get lucky

Not a big fan of these newer bottles 😅 but it's not that important, especially when the juice inside is solid 👌 the small squat bottles are all 46% now, while these, at least what I saw in Edinburgh, are the cask strength bottles. Definitely returning to the shop when in Edinburgh next. As Greg says below, I often overlook Caol Ila because I'm not usually looking for peated whiskies, and Caol Ila is so common, even though it can be amazing... I'll have to try and mooch some samples next time to help me choose 😉

Early in my whisky journey, it was so easy to overlook, even for an Islay. I had to have a really good one to appreciate some of the more average bottles. As strange as thatsounds.

It's a $700 bottle on based on quality of whisky. I doubt you paid that, enjoy ;) !
