Caol Ila 12 Years Islay Single Malt Whisky

Caol Ila is a renowned Scotch whisky distillery located on the Isle of Islay, Scotland. Founded in 1846 by Hector Henderson, it has become one of the most significant producers of Islay single malt whisky. The 12-year-old expression is noted for its characteristic peaty, smoky profile balanced with sea air and fruit notes. Throughout its long history, the distillery has undergone various ownership changes and major reconstructions, particularly in the 1970s.

Today, Caol Ila is owned by Diageo, a global leader in beverage alcohol. While much of the distillery's output is famously used as a key component in Johnnie Walker blends, its single malt expressions remain highly sought after by enthusiasts. The product is manufactured entirely in Scotland, specifically at the Port Askaig distillery site, maintaining its geographic heritage and traditional production methods.
