Tasting Notes

Colour

Dark amber with mahogany hues and a toasted bronze glow.

Nose

Salted caramel, smoky notes and a beeswax finish mingle in the nose, inviting and tactile.

Palate

Dark chocolate coats the palate with cocoa-rich depth, while sea salt lends a bright, briny snap. Dry malt provides a lean, savoury backbone that carries the flavour into a crisp, lingering finish.

Finish

An enduring finish of rich coffee and sweet smoke, a plush, warming echo that lingers long on the palate.

Caol Ila
(kowel-EEL-ah) Caol Ila was founded in 1846 by Hector Henderson near Port Askaig on Islay’s east coast, overlooking the Sound of Islay between Islay and Jura. Its Gaelic name refers to that stretch of water, and the site was chosen with access to sea transport and a water supply from Loch nam Ban. Ownership changed early, passing to Norman Buchanan in 1854 and then to Bulloch Lade & Co in 1863.
