Caol Ila

Caol Ila is an Islay single malt distillery founded in 1846 on the Sound of Islay, producing a heavily peated style with a distinctive lighter, oilier body than Ardbeg or Laphroaig. The 12 Year Old is the workhorse expression — smoke, brine, and citrus in a surprisingly approachable package. Diageo owns Caol Ila and uses much of its output for blends including Johnnie Walker, making the single malt bottlings relatively limited.
