Caol Ila 12 Year Old 2011 Ronin is a bold and distinctive Islay single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by The Single Cask for their striking Ronin series. Distilled in 2011 and matured in a single first fill Catoctin Creek Rye Quarter Cask (#307960), this limited release was bottled in 2023, yielding just 106 individually numbered bottles.

The use of a first fill rye whiskey quarter cask creates an intense and highly characterful maturation, layering Caol Ila’s clean coastal peat smoke with vibrant rye spice, vanilla sweetness, and toasted oak. The smaller quarter cask format increases spirit-to-wood interaction, producing a whisky with exceptional concentration and complexity while preserving the distillery’s unmistakable maritime style.
