CAOL ILA - 12 years - 43% ABV

The prestigious Caol Ila distillery is ideally located on the illustrious island of Islay, in the heart of Scotland, a renowned cradle of malt whisky. Recognized as the largest Single Malt distillery on Islay in terms of capacity, it has benefited from exceptional expertise since its foundation in 1846, near Port Askaig. Integrated into the prestigious Diageo portfolio, Caol Ila primarily supplies the blended whisky market, notably the famous Johnnie Walker, while developing a remarkable range of pure malt whiskies. In response to growing demand, the old distillery was replaced in 1974 by a more modern and larger facility. Since 2010, its production has nearly doubled, rising from 3.5 to 6.5 million liters per year, reflecting its growing success. Caol Ila Single Malts were previously only available through independent bottlers until the official introduction of the 12-year-old Caol Ila in 2002. The malted barley comes from Port Ellen, and distillation takes place in large stills partially filled, promoting increased contact between alcohol vapor and copper, essential for refining the taste. This particularity gives Caol Ila expressions a subtly peated character, much lighter than other Islay whiskies, with an elegant and refined smoky note. Additionally, occasional editions of non-peated whiskies complement this exceptional range.
