Caol Ila 12 Year Old is made at the biggest distillery on Islay. It was demolished in 1972 and then rebuilt.

It’s relatively light coloured and shows characteristics of pepper, and peat smoke, as well as toffee and vanilla from oak ageing – there is a floral characteristic as well. The malt is medium-bodied with a good intensity of flavour. Consistently good.

Bursting with powerful flavour, Caol Ila 12 Year Old does justice to its Islay home.
