Caol Ila Cooper's Choice - Single Cask #0923 Whisky 19 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a coppery sheen and mahogany undertones.

Nose

Islay peat smoke swirls with coastal brine, iodine and sea spray. A citrus lift with orange zest brightens a core of vanilla and caramel. Dried fruit and cocoa nibs add quiet richness, while the oak remains refined and elegant.

Palate

Coastal peat coats the palate with a velvety, mouth-filling heft. Briny sea spray and medicinal iodine mingle with sherried sweetness—dark fig, raisin, cocoa, and orange peel. Vanilla-toned oak and toasted almond add warmth, while gentle peppery spice lingers. A long, refined finish of smoke, salt and oak invites the next sip.

Finish

Long, coastal finish driven by sea salt and peat, with the smoke lingering as sherry-influenced fruit, cocoa and warm oak unfold. The tail deepens into a resinous sweetness that slowly fades to a crisp mineral finish, leaving a final whisper of salt on the tongue.
