  Caol Ila 12 years old Single Islay Malt Whisky 70 cl 43%

  Item no.: 22227865462

  A moderately smoky classic from the sound that gives the distillery its name.

  Expert description

  Caol Ila 12 Year Old Single Islay Malt Whisky is the distillery's official age-stated core expression, matured for at least 12 years, bottled at 43%. Caol Ila Distillery was founded in 1846 on the shore of the Sound of Islay, from which the distillery also takes its name — Gaelic for 'Sound of Islay'. The distillery is today owned by Diageo and is one of Islay's largest producers, although much of its output has traditionally gone into blended whisky such as Johnnie Walker. Despite its peated character, Caol Ila is often somewhat lighter and more elegant than several of Islay's other distilleries.
