About Caol Ila
The Caol Ila distillery, near the Islay port town of Port Askaig overlooks the Sound of Islay, a strip of water between Islay and Jura after which the distillery is named. Described by some as one of the lighter peated islay malts, the style is oily and smoky with a seaside tang and has peaty, floral and peppery notes.
While whisky from this distillery was originally used mainly in blends such as Johnnie Walker, the increasing popularity of single malts has seen it become much more popular.
