Caol Ila First Cask Single Cask #63 Whisky 20 Year Old · 1983 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany undertones.

Nose

Peat-smoked and coastal, this Caol Ila opens with iodine-kissed smoke, sea-salt brine and lemon zest. Green apple adds brightness, while sherry-influenced oak leaves a whisper of vanilla, toffee and almond. A wave of ash and pepper lingers, hinting at salt-washed complexity and a long, captivating finish.

Palate

Silky maritime peat coats the palate with smoky mineral notes, like sea spray and brine. Beneath, dried citrus, salted caramel and sherry-softened sweetness unfold, accompanied by gentle tobacco and black pepper spice. The finish lingers with resinous smoke, cocoa nibs, and a refined mineral salinity that invites another sip.

Finish

Long, maritime and smoky, the finish drifts with sea-salt and iodine, finely woven with persistent peat. A touch of vanilla spice from the mature oak lingers, gradually fading into a warm, coastal smoke.
