Caol Ila Samaroli Single Tokaji Cask #2100012 Whisky 13 Year Old · 2009 Vintage

Colour

Warm golden amber with coppery highlights and a honey-bronze glow.

Nose

Sea-salt peat and sea breeze open the nose, then a bright chorus of fresh herbaceous notes—sage, thyme, and green grass. Vanilla sweetness glows softly, while leather adds depth. The Tokaji cask finish hints at warm fruit and subtle oak, weaving a refined maritime aroma that’s at once Islay-heroic and suavely elegant.

Palate

Peat smoke remains as a backbone, softened by Tokaji sweetness. Rich vanilla and honeyed fruit—apricot and citrus zest—mingle with herbal greens. Leather and a touch of tobacco underpin the mouthfeel, while spice tingles through a velvety, medium-full frame, leaving a long, warm finish.

Finish

Long, refined finish with a bright, fresh herbaceous lift, mingling with vanilla sweetness and leather. A soft peat echo lingers, carried by the Tokaji cask influence into a warm, lingering glow.
