The name Caol Ila means “Sound of Islay” in Gaelic, referring to the narrow stretch of water in front of the distillery that separates Islay from the island of Jura. The distillery was founded in 1846, and just 34 years later it was already producing 600,000 liters of alcohol per year.
Caol Ila’s core expression, but of excellent quality — fresh, peated, and delicately fruity, with a very refined body. The Caol Ila 12 Years Old maintains a delicate balance of flavors.
