Caol Ila Islay Single Malt Whisky Miniature 10 Year Old · 1993 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold hues, a warm, sunlit glow that hints at sherry richness beneath.

Nose

Intense maritime perfume of iodine and sea spray, with Caol Ila’s signature peat lingering in the air. Briny, medicinal notes merge with ash and mineral grit, while citrus zest and a touch of vanilla brighten the profile, adding a fresh sweetness to the smoke.

Palate

Powerfully peaty and maritime, Caol Ila coats the palate with briny sea salt, iodine and ash, lifted by bright citrus zest. The 57.3% ABV delivers a warming peppery spine that threads smoky, medicinal notes, finishing with a mineral, sea-breeze edge and a whisper of sweetness.

Finish

Long, coastal peat lingers with saline smoke, slowly unfurling into dark toffee, dried fig and cocoa. A warm, peppery ember remains on the palate, echoing sea breeze and Caol Ila’s iodine long after the swallow.
