Situated on the North East coast of Islay, Caol Ila distillery is home to one of the lighter styles of Islay whisky. On the nose, our Tasting Panel recorded maritime notes, fishing nets and smoked applewood. On the palate, notes of toasted marshmallows, dates and apricots were recorded. This was then followed by a rounded finish of toasted oats, ash embers and strawberries.

Caol Ila Information

An Islay distillery known for its consistency, Caol Ila is situated on the east coast of the island. One of the lighter spirits produced on Islay, it combines a slight fruitiness and hint of pepper with the expected peatiness and sea shore notes.

Its historical significance for blends meant that, until 2002. independent bottlers were vital in allowing whisky lovers to experience the Caol Ila single malt - so we are delighted to be continuing this tradition.
