Introducing the Caol Ila 2010 AD Selection 9yo Sherry Hogshead #311710, a special whisky bottled to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Whisky Import Nederland (WIN). This whisky hails from the renowned Adelphi brand and is distilled at the Caol Ila Distillery, which was the inspiration for the founding of WIN in 2004. The nose of this whisky is a delightful combination of dark berries and cherries, blended with the scents of old leather, old books, and a hint of smokiness from a traditional eel smoker. The palate offers a rich and complex taste experience, with notes of chocolate and Eastern spices, a mix of red fruits, oak, salted herring, mint, and beautiful peat accents. The finish is long-lasting, with a progression from cherry bonbons to spicy and peppery herbs, followed by a burst of salt and turf, all in a beautiful harmony. This whisky is a true testament to the quality and expertise of the Adelphi Distillery and is a fitting tribute to WIN's 15th anniversary. Enjoy it neat or with a splash of water to fully appreciate its rich and complex flavor profile.

Love. This. Stuff. Reminds me of the good old days of those stunning sherried Adelphi bottlings with bottling dates pre-2009. The nose is a grand, umami experience with roast beef, dried ham, and earthy notes. The palate is surprisingly soft yet complex, bursting with peat, sweet and sour notes, and spices, while the finish is extremely long, somewhat drying, and full of salted meat and espresso. This whisky is an impressive, multifaceted journey that stands as a fitting tribute to WIN's 15th anniversary.
