Caol Ila 12 Year Old

An Islay classic that we will never get enough of. Caol Ila 12 year old is the entry-level bottling from the Caol Ila distillery, launched in June of 2002. Caol Ila is the largest of the Islay distilleries by output and so it’s a favourite of brands, independent bottlers, and blends like Johnnie Walker.

Caol Ila 12 Year Old appeals to connoisseurs while also making the perfect entry to the world of peated whisky for newcomers, with its beautifully measured and mellow smokiness and a rich array of seaside flavours. It’s a serial award-winner that works great in cocktails (we recommend a smoky Highball), as well as being a good whisky to pair with salty and savoury foods.

Fantastic

First bottle I've bought from Caol Ila working my way through all the Islay distilleries. Smooth and smokey, amazing whisky especially for the price.

Surprisingly good for its price. Nose - smokiness, floral, flowers, garlic. Complex. Taste - sweet, oily, smoky, medicinal. Good , very good, I am surprised

Open and smell it in another room!

I haven't had this whisky in my collection for some time - I really don't know why not as it is excellent. I opened the bottle in the kitchen and my wife, in the lounge, said what's that disgusting smell. I kid you not. She hates the smell of peated whisky I should explain. I was amazed by the nose and even more by the taste - yes, it's Islay but more complex than most. Side by side, I tried the Caol Ila with Laphroaig 10, which I really enjoy and I was surprised that I liked the CI far more. What can I say - you live and learn. My only gripe is that it's only 43%, has added colour and is chillfiltered. It's still a lovely dram.

What is not to love?

This is a grand whiskey that has great style, mixes well with ice and water and is great taken neat also. Please note if you dont like smokey whiskeys, jog on.

Excellent example of a classic islay malt. Good entry to peaty scotch whisky and the ensuing rabbit hole.
