Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

Caol Ila. I must say, I was impressed. Wikipedia informs me that 90% of all their whisky goes into blends, including Jonnie Walker black label. It packed a real punch, especially on the nose, but also on the palate.

Signatory offers some independent bottlings from time to time from casks they buy from Caol Ila.
All that’s left of a 16 yr old bottling of Caol Ila by Signatory Vintage in 2007 is this tin full of fond memories. I’ve also had a 12 yr old bottling that was pretty astringent. In ~2002 Signatory bought the Edradour distillery in the eastern Highlands. The smallest distillery in operation today, most of Edradour‘s volume is bought up for blends just like Caol Ila is. The bottling plant is used for Signatory’s independent bottlings.

We managed to sneak another couple of bottles in before the price rises. I hadn’t tried either before.
The Wee Beastie will remain unopened for some time…

…but we decided to try the Elijah Craig.

Very enjoyable, it was.
My hat? Drinking in the living room at home, I don’t usually wear one. Please forgive me for (once again) posting without one.

Then home for some Colkegan Single Malt Mesquite Smoked Single Malt with some Peter Stokkebye’s Old Whiskey pipe tobacco. A great combo!

Knocked back a couple of those Modelos at h.h. myself earlier. Always a good choice.
