Melt into the rich flavor of Caol Ila 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. With a subdued, citric fruitiness and a sweet start, our whisky ends with a lengthy, slightly sour finish. Caol Ila's has notes of peat and salt, with a mix of capers and herbs to accentuate the citrus flavors. Caol Ila is pronounced “Cull Eela.” For more than 100 years, small coal-fired “puffers” like the SS Pibroch brought barley, coal, and empty casks to the distillery, returning her whisky to the mainland through the Sound of Islay. Today, Caol Ila’s secret bay is only known to true Islay devotees. The barley used here is still malted locally at Port Ellen and pure spring water still rises from limestone in nearby Loch Nam Ban, then falls to the sea at Caol Ila in a clear crystal stream, just as it always has. It's best enjoyed when served neat in a rocks glass, adding ice or a splash of water. Includes one 86-proof 750 mL bottle of Caol Ila 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Please drink responsibly.

Tasting Notes

Nose: The whisky presents a fresh and inviting aroma that defies expectations of heavy smoke. Instead, it offers a subdued citric fruitiness that's complemented by a subtle whiff of oil and mouthwash. This combination is both intriguing and appetizing.
Palate: The palate is a delightful contrast to some of Islay's more intensely peated whiskies. It begins with a sweet and gentle start, revealing light fragrant smokiness that doesn't overwhelm the taste buds. The sweetness adds depth and complexity, making it a welcoming entry point for those exploring Islay whisky.
Finish: The finish continues the theme of sweet smokiness, creating a harmonious and balanced conclusion. There's a hint of sourness that lingers, providing a unique and memorable character to the overall tasting experience.
