Find Similar Products to Caol Ila 12 Year Old

Islay peat with unexpected fruit — a gentler, more complex alternative to Laphroaig.

What makes Caol Ila 12 Year Old distinctive?

Caol Ila 12 is one of Islay's best kept secrets. Less aggressively medicinal than its neighbours, it layers peat smoke over green fruit, citrus, and a grassy freshness — the result of tall, lantern-shaped stills and careful distillation. The finish is long, smoky, and strangely refreshing.
