Description

Caol Ila 12 Year Old is the flagship expression of the renowned Caol Ila Distillery, located on the northeastern coast of Islay, Scotland. Known for its refined and approachable style, this single malt showcases the signature maritime character of Islay with a lighter, more elegant peat influence.

Matured for 12 years in carefully selected oak casks, it offers a beautifully balanced combination of smoky peat, fresh fruit, sweet malt, and a clean coastal finish.
