An unusual expression from this renowned Islay distillery. Distilled from unpeated malted barley, this whisky offers a departure from Caol Ila`s traditional peaty profile. Crafted in 1998 and released in 2012 as part of Diageo`s `Special Releases` series, it provides an insightful glimpse into the distillery`s versatility. Caol Ila, established in 1846, is known for its coastal influences, which subtly shape this distinctive offering.

An Islay Powerhouse
One of the largest distilleries on Islay, Caol Ila was founded on the north of the island, near Port Askaig, in 1846. The distillery water source is Loch Nam Ban providing water filtered through a combination of limestone and peat. Caol Ila produces nearly four million litres a year, mostly for premium blended whiskies like Johnnie Walker. Only around a twentieth of the production is bottled as a single malt.
While the house-style is a classic, peated Islay malt, Caol Ila have successfully experimented with unpeated whiskies over the years. The core range features a 12 year old and an 18 year old along with Moch, a lighter style of single malt that takes its name from the Garlic for 'dawn'.
