Caol Ila 2010 Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber with sunlit honey tones and subtle coppery glints.

Nose

Briny peat and oceanic mineral notes rise with lemon zest and sea air, Caol Ila’s signature smoke filling the nose. The Moscatel finish threads honeyed raisin, dried apricot and orange blossom through the aroma, delivering a soft, sunlit sweetness that lingers with refined warmth.

Palate

Peat smoke and coastal brine form a velvety backbone, brightened by Moscatel sweetness. Rich notes of raisin, fig and orange zest unfold over vanilla and cocoa, while a salted caramel thread weaves through. Mineral, sea-salt tang and gentle spice carry into a long, elegant finish.

Finish

Long and maritime, the finish threads Caol Ila’s coastal peat with Moscatel sweetness. Raisin and fig give way to bright orange zest, vanilla and caramel, expanding into a warm, velvety sweetness that gradually fades to a delicate saline echo. Smoke lingers softly, leaving a citrus-kissed, enduring finish that invites the next sip.
