From a distillery that mainly produces for blended whiskies such as Johnnie Walker. Approximately 5% comes on the market as Single Malt, most of which they bottle themselves in their own series. Caol Ila has a pure and solidly peated character. This whisky matured on 2 so-called 'Hogsheads'; older barrels that have certainly been used several times. Because of this, the wood influence is not very large and you can taste the distillation character very well. If you smell this whisky, it is like you're at a barbecue by the sea.
