CAOL ILA 10 Year Old 2011 Signatory Vintage, 46% ABV

Founded in 1846, Caol Ila is an iconic distillery on the Isle of Islay known for its intensely smoky and iodised malts, with surprising versatility, adapting to all types of casks. This young version is no exception to the rule and fans of peaty whisky will love its rich, oily and ashy taste. Unmissable.

The Un-Chillfiltered Collection is a range of non-chill filtered single malts, bottled at 46% from carefully selected small batches of casks. Rich, aromatic and oily, these whiskies have managed to preserve all their character, for an authentic taste experience.

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
