Caol Ila

Caol Ila

Caol Ila is an iconic distillery located on the Isle of Islay, Scotland, founded in 1846. Renowned for its characterful single malts, Caol Ila is famous for its peaty and smoky whiskies that capture the unique essence of their island terroir.

Caol Ila whiskies are distinguished by their intense aromas of peat, smoke, and seaweed, often balanced by notes of fruit, spice, and vanilla. The distillery offers a diverse range, from youthful and fresh expressions to older and more complex versions. Caol Ila 12 Year Old, for example, is celebrated for its finesse and balance between peat and fruity flavors, while older expressions provide increased depth and richness.

Caol Ila’s artisanal approach combines traditional distillation methods with modern techniques to ensure consistent quality. Each bottle reflects the distillery’s craftsmanship and the influence of Islay’s climate and soil, providing an authentic and memorable tasting experience.
