Caol Ila 12 Years Scotch Whisky

Caol Ila 12 Years is a signature Islay single malt Scotch whisky known for its distinct smoky and peaty character balanced with fresh, floral notes. The brand was established in 1846 by Hector Henderson near Port Askaig on the Isle of Islay, Scotland. The distillery's name is Gaelic for 'Sound of Islay', referencing its geographic position overlooking the water between Islay and Jura.

Today, Caol Ila is produced exclusively at its historic distillery site on Islay to maintain its protected 'Scotch Whisky' status and specific regional profile. The brand is owned by Diageo, a global leader in beverage alcohol. Diageo maintains the distillery's traditions while distributing the product to international markets, ensuring its position as one of the most significant producers of Islay malt whisky.
