Caol Ila Port Askaig Whisky Miniature 13 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery sheen and burnished mahogany edges.

Nose

Coastal peat and sea spray rise with medicinal iodine and a whisper of ash, as rich sherry fruit unfurls—dark raisins, fig and treacle—brightened by orange zest and toasted almond. The smoke stays refined and integrated, delivering a maritime, lingering aroma.

Palate

Caol Ila peat and sea-salt mingle with rich sherry sweetness. On the palate, dried fig and raisin unfold with orange zest, cocoa, and vanilla-tinged toffee, all wrapped in almond. A refined smokiness persists, finishing long with maritime brine, espresso nuances, and a gentle, warming glow.

Finish

Long, maritime finish with enduring peat smoke, salted sea air and a delicate sweetness. Dried fruit and cocoa emerge, softened by oak, as the peat lingers warmly and tapers to a mineral, coastal fade.
