The Caol Ila distillery dates from 1846, at least the warehouse of this Islay distillery, because the distillery itself was completely rebuilt and enlarged in the early 1970s. Where Caol Ila was 'self-malting' until the renovation, the distillery then used malt from Port Ellen Maltings, also located on Islay. Some connoisseurs see a separation here between the heavier 'old' and the 'lighter' new Caol Ila.
Although the distillery produces quite a few single malt whisky bottlings, most of the malt goes to the Johnnie Walker blends. Remarkably, the single malt for the blends is not peated, while Caol Ila is known as the maker of smoky Islay whisky. By the way, there are a few bottlings of that unpeated version.
A nice example of the distillery character, this 12-year-old Caol Ila. Tough and yet subtle, and nicely balanced with the smoke and peat notes typical of Caol Ila. A good and affordable entry into the world of 'peated' Islay whisky.
This Caol Ila bottling in the Discovery series by Gordon & MacPhail has aged for 13 years in clearly active bourbon casks. In this Islay single malt whisky you will find notes of vanilla, caramel, fruit and leather, and salty peat smoke and iodine.
This Caol Ila was bottled in 2017 by The Creative Whisky Company. The classic Islay single malt whisky matured for 11 years in a bourbon cask. Creamy, sweet smokiness, and maritime elements like seaweed and shellfish; all this and more! (52.2% ABV))
This Caol Ila single malt whisky matured for 16 years, the last two years of which in a 1st-fill Oloroso sherry cask. This is clearly visible in the colour. Bottler Van Wees, therefore, released the malt in the series The Ultimate-Sherry Cask Finish. 46%

Bottled in collaboration with Torsten Paul, this first release from Roger's Whisky Company. Like the TPWC bottlings, this one is finished on a small quality cask, a PX octave in this case. It is a 12 year old Caol Ila bottled at a strength of 50%.
