About the Distillery

Founded in 1846, Caol Ila is one of the most respected distilleries on Islay, known for producing peated single malts with a clean, briny character and a delicate balance of smoke and citrus. Its spirit is prized both as a single malt and as a key component in several classic blends. Caol Ila’s coastal location contributes greatly to its maritime and subtly smoky profile.
