Caol Ila

Caol Ila Malt Whisky

Caol Ila was built in 1846 and is the largest of the eight working distilleries on of Islay (an island situated off the west coast of Scotland). Currently it has a production capacity of 3 million litres per year.
In the classic Islay style, Caol Ila is made predominantly with peated malt and the resulting phenols have a big influence on the final flavour of the whisky, as does the salty coastal air that the casks ‘breathe’ during maturation. It is one of the most approachable Islay malts.
