Description

For anyone visiting Caol Ila today, it might be hard to believe that it was once one of the smaller distilleries on Islay, with the Diageo workhorse now producing almost as much spirit as Lagavulin, Ardbeg, Bowmore and Laphroaig combined!

Nose
Unmistakable Islay peat, with notes of sunflower, herbs, minerality, citrus, and ripe banana. Hints of dark honey, earthy forest, burnt oats, caramel, fresh almond, exotic citrus, and smoked fruits. [8, 9, 15]
Palate
Peat is present but balanced, with tropical fruits like pineapple, banana, and mango, sweet citrus, and a spicy kick. Oily texture, rich sooty smoke, exotic incenses, and a peppery, salty character. [8, 9, 15]
Finish
Long and elegant with peaty smoke and delicate sweetness, lingering with notes of mint, tar, and oak tannin. [7, 9, 15]
