Caol Ila 2012 13y

About

Caol Ila is defined by its smoky, maritime character, and this 13-year-old Signatory Vintage bottling delivers exactly that. Bottled at cask strength (57.1%), this is an unchillfiltered expression that captures the distillery's full intensity. The nose reveals layers of smoke and salt, with citrus sharpness and iodine that are hallmarks of Islay. The palate brings a full, peaty assault with maritime notes and a subtle sweetness underneath. The finish is long and dry, with peat, orange peel, and a light tannic bite that leaves the mouth pleasantly gripped. This is not a polished, refined dram — it is a robust, uncompromising Islay whisky that makes no apologies for its character. For those who love authentic peat and salt.
