Caol Ila 9-Year-Old Fresh PX Sherry Barrique is imported directly by Fadandel.dk and is a unique single malt in Claxton’s highly sought-after Exploration Series.

This single malt has matured for 9 years in a Fresh PX Sherry Barrique, giving it intense depth and character. Bottled at 50% ABV, the standard for the Exploration Series it delivers a powerful yet well-balanced tasting experience, where Caol Ila’s distinctive smoky and maritime character merges beautifully with the sweet and fruity notes from the sherry cask.

Caol Ila Distillery, located on Islay, is renowned for its iconic smoky and peaty style, complemented by subtle maritime nuances. Its whiskies are rich, complex, and robust, making them particularly suited for maturation in sherry and wine casks. Aging in a Fresh PX Sherry Barrique adds layers of dark fruit, caramel, and spiced sweetness, enhancing the distillery’s character and creating a memorable dram with both balance and intensity.

This release is part of Exploration Series number eleven, where Claxton’s has once again curated a series of whiskies that are both exciting and unique. Alongside this Caol Ila 9-Year-Old, we have also received five other bottlings from the same release—each carefully selected to showcase the versatility and complexity of Scotch whisky when matured in different cask types and at varying ages.

At Fadandel.dk, you’ll find not only this exceptional Caol Ila 9-Year-Old Fresh PX Sherry Barrique, but also the other bottlings from the Exploration Series. Whether you are a collector, a whisky enthusiast, or simply searching for a truly special bottle, this Caol Ila is an outstanding opportunity to experience a whisky that combines tradition, quality, and innovation.

Nose: Toasted seaweed. Malty. BBQ flavours
Palate: Sweet and rich. Full-bodied and creamy
Finish: Rich finish with sweet oak and biscuit flavours

In this eleventh release of the Exploration Series (EXP), we have brought in all six different bottlings. Fadandel.dk holds the agency and import of Claxton’s bottlings in Denmark, including their Warehouse #1 and Warehouse #8 series, Core Range Series, Dalswinton series and this Exploration Series. All bottlings in the EXP series are presented in standard round bottles, rather than the “flat” bottle type Claxton’s normally uses for the Warehouse #1 and Warehouse #8 series. Under the foil on each EXP bottling, you will find a Claxton’s gold token. Once you have collected five tokens and send them back to Claxton’s, you gain access to an exclusive Claxton’s bottling. Read more about the process here.
