Caol Ila 12 Year Old : The Gentle Peat of Islay

Caol Ila 12 Year Old is a classic Islay whisky, known for its balance between maritime and smoky flavors. First released in 2002, this single malt is distilled on the northeastern coast of Islay, at the Caol Ila distillery founded in 1846. The distillery overlooks the strait between Islay and Jura, which influences the whisky's distinct character. It is matured in ex-bourbon casks, allowing the spirit to develop its signature combination of sweetness, peat smoke, and coastal elements.

On the nose, Caol Ila 12 greets you with aromas of smoked ham, seaweed, and hints of citrus. The palate is light yet flavorful, with notes of vanilla, toffee, and smoked bacon balanced by a delicate saltiness. The finish is long and warming, dominated by lingering smoke and a touch of white pepper and green apples, a perfect expression of Islay’s refined peated whisky style.
