Caol Ila 13 Year Old 2012, bottled in 2026 as part of the Signatory Vintage 100-Proof Edition (#70), is a bold and smoky Islay single malt bottled at traditional 100-proof strength (57.1% ABV). Matured across a carefully balanced combination of first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, refill sherry butts and refill hogsheads, this release brings together maritime peat smoke and layered sherry depth.

The influence of Oloroso casks adds richness and warmth—dried fruits, dark sugars and gentle spice—while the refill casks allow Caol Ila’s crisp coastal smoke, citrus oils and mineral character to remain firmly in focus. Bottled at high strength and presented in full natural form, without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a powerful yet composed Islay malt with impressive balance.

A classic Caol Ila profile elevated by sherry complexity and 100-proof intensity, offering both smoke lovers and sherry fans a compelling crossover style.
