Fresh, sweetly fruity and smooth bodied, CAOL ILA 12 year old is as rounded and clear as the shapes of the still-room, glimpsed by hazy shafts of sunlight glancing through the morning cloud. Each expression of CAOL ILA reflects a special quality of the light at this remote Islay distillery, where sublime malt whiskies have been made for over a hundred and sixty years. This is a classic expression of the CAOL ILA character, first seen in 1846. Exhibiting spicy sea-air aromas and sweet smoky-dry flavours, elegantly expressed with a clarity and balance that come from perfect maturation. |
