Product Information

But then the smoke appeared, coalescing into what I can only describe as cigar boxy: wood and tobacco leaves.

But then again, Caol Ila 12YO does give you pretty heavy peppery smoke and peat along the way, behind its subtle cover. There are also some very good independent bottlings out there - Douglas Laing's 14 year old single cask in particular. Nestled in a hidden cove near Port Askaig, Islay, the Caol Ila (pronounced “Cull Eela”) distillery sent its whisky to market by sea for over a hundred years.

Maybe it's like a volatile relationship whereby the couple can't live with each other, nor live without each other.

Interesting take on the Caol Ila signature flavour but I’ll stick to the standard 12 YO and 18 YO, thanks.

Today I’ll be trying the 12 Year Old and 18 Year Old from their core range and an Indie that shall remain a surprise for now. I have tried mixing Arran Sherry Single Cask 12 with some success, so long as the Caol Ila is at least 60% of the blend.
