The Disitllery:

Caol Ila Distillery is located on the northeastern coast of the Scottish island of Islay. Founded in 1846, the distillery has a long-standing history of producing peated single malt Scotch whisky, which has become highly regarded among whisky enthusiasts.

Situated on the shores of the Sound of Islay, Caol Ila benefits from the island's unique and rugged environment. The distillery is known for its traditional production methods, employing copper pot stills and wooden washbacks. These techniques contribute to the distinctive smoky and maritime character that defines Caol Ila whiskies.

Caol Ila whiskies are celebrated for their balanced and complex flavor profiles. They often exhibit a combination of smoky peat, brine, citrus, and fruity notes. The whiskies can vary in intensity, offering options for both peat enthusiasts seeking bold flavors and those who prefer a more delicate smokiness.

Over the years, Caol Ila Distillery has gone through changes in ownership but has remained true to its heritage of producing exceptional Islay whiskies. Despite being one of the larger distilleries on the island, Caol Ila maintains a commitment to traditional distillation techniques and quality craftsmanship.

Caol Ila whiskies have gained a loyal following and are highly regarded for their consistent quality and distinctive character. The distillery's releases, ranging from their core expressions to limited editions, continue to delight whisky enthusiasts with their well-balanced peat, rich flavors, and nods to the unique terroir of Islay.
