Caol Ila Signatory Vintage Un-Chillfiltered Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 2016 Vintage
In stock
Bottled by Signatory Vintage for the Un-Chillfiltered Collection, this Caol Ila was distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2026 at 10 years old. At 46% ABV, it keeps the focus on the distillery’s familiar Islay style, where peat smoke, coastal freshness and citrus all sit in easy balance.
This is the kind of bottling where Caol Ila’s natural clarity really comes through. The smoke is likely to feel clean and expressive rather than heavy, while the spirit keeps enough sweetness and brightness underneath to make it very approachable for an Islay malt.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Peat smoke rises with brisk maritime air, iodine and salted brine mingling with lemon zest and green apple. Sea spray over warm barley, with a whisper of vanilla from oak adding subtle sweetness to a cool, mineral finish.
Palate
Coastal smoke and sea-salt embrace bright citrus zest, while creamy vanilla and toffee knit a subtle sweetness through the peat. Mineral iodine and brine spread across the mid-palate, with a dry, buoyant finish of smoke, almond and lingering citrus.
Finish
Coastal peat lingers with sea-salt tang and a touch of iodine, brining the palate with a refined brine. Vanilla sweetness threads through citrus zest as ash and smoke fade, leaving a long, mineral-tinged finish warmed by oak.
