Tasting Notes

Nose Coastal peat smoke, raisins, dark chocolate, and sea spray with hints of orange peel and toasted oak. Palate Rich and oily, revealing flavours of smoked malt, treacle, dried fruits, salted caramel, roasted nuts, and warming sherry spice. Finish Long and warming, with lingering peat smoke, maritime salinity, cocoa bitterness, and elegant oak spice.

Caol Ila 13 Year Old 2013 is a richly smoky Islay single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Hunter Laing & Co. for the celebrated Old Malt Cask 25th Anniversary series. Distilled in 2013 and matured in a single Oloroso sherry butt, this limited release was bottled in October 2023, yielding 769 bottles.

The combination of Caol Ila’s elegant maritime peat smoke and rich Oloroso sherry maturation creates a beautifully balanced Islay whisky packed with complexity and depth. Layers of dark fruits, coastal salinity, smoked malt, chocolate, and warming spice intertwine seamlessly, while the active sherry cask adds luxurious richness without overpowering the distillery’s signature smoky character. Bottled in the classic Old Malt Cask style without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a refined and highly rewarding peated single malt.
