Caol Ila 9 yo 2011/2020 (56.7%, Clan Denny for Or Sileis, hogshead, cask #DL14148, 306 bottles) - 030521 Caol Ila 32 yo 1984/2016 (49.5%, Cadenhead, Small Batch, bourbon hogshead, 210 bottles) - Angus - 220717 Caol Ila 9 yo 2012/2021 (58.3%, Lady Of The Glen, cask #311196, hogshead + Xynisteri White wine finish, 307 bottles) - by Angus - 090722 Caol Ila 2006/2015 (58.2%, Gordon & MacPhail, Exclusive for La Maison du Whisky, refill sherry hogshead, cask #306217, 251 bottles) - 141015 Their whisky is considered as one of the lighter Islay whiskies but the reality is, Caol Ila produces big peated characters as well. I’d say their whisky is a bit light but other Islay distilleries have toned the trademark heavily peated Islay character down a bit. At the end of the day, the difference is not that big between Caol Ila and the heavy hitters of peat (Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg).

Caol Ila 12 year old single malt isn’t one the best ones that Islay can offer but it is a great showing from the islands of peat. Nice addition to the peaty world with different kind of nuances, than some other Islay distilleries have to offer. Caol Ila 12YO has been chill-filtered and colored, with maturation in Ex-Boubon Hogsheads.

It has a strong, smoky flavour with hints of seaweed, salt, and pepper, which makes it a great pairing for a variety of foods. Seafood is a classic pairing for Scotch whisky, and the Caol Ila 12 is no exception. The smokiness of the whisky enhances the flavour of the seafood, while the briny flavour of the fish brings out the subtle sweetness of the whisky. Grilled salmon, oysters, and shellfish are all good options. To make the pairing even better, try pairing the whisky with a side of roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables.
