Caol Ila 12 Year Old
Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Caol Ila 12 Year Old is a classic Islay single malt Scotch whisky, renowned for its elegant peat smoke, maritime freshness and bright citrus character. Matured for 12 years and bottled at 43.0% ABV, it is the signature expression from Caol Ila Distillery and one of the most approachable introductions to peated Islay whisky. Caol Ila is known for a lighter, more refined style of peat than some of its Islay neighbours, combining smoke and coastal salinity with lemon, orchard fruit, sweet malt and gentle spice. The 12 Year Old captures that balance beautifully, offering plenty of smoky character without losing freshness or drinkability. Its mix of peat, citrus and maritime notes makes Caol Ila 12 Year Old a versatile single malt, equally suited to experienced Islay drinkers and those discovering peated Scotch whisky for the first time.
