CAOL ILA WHISKEY: THE ART OF ISLAY MARINE AND PEATED WHISKEY

Founded in 1846 by Hector Henderson, the Caol Ila distillery is one of the most iconic distilleries on Islay, an island world-renowned for its peaty whiskies. Located in a peaceful bay, this distillery is the largest whisky producer on the island, capable of producing up to 7 million liters of spirit per year—a considerable volume compared to other distilleries, such as Kilchoman, which produce this amount in a year. The majority of Caol Ila 's production is used to create famous blends, including Bell's, White Horse, Scottish Leader, Johnnie Walker, and Black Bottle. However, the distillery also offers a range of single malts with a unique character, generally marked by the maritime and peaty aromas characteristic of Islay. Caol Ila thus appeals to lovers of powerful and refined whiskies, with a peaty and salty touch that perfectly embodies the character of the island of Islay. These whiskies are ideal for those seeking authenticity and rich maritime flavors, while remaining faithful to the centuries-old traditions of distilling on Islay.
