Caol Ila

cull eel·a

Caol Ila Distillery is gebouwd in 1846 door Hector Henderson. De distillery ligt aan de Sound of Islay en door de grote ramen van het stillhouse kijk je uit op de Paps van Jura. Op de warehouses na is in 1972 alles afgebroken en opnieuw opgebouwd.

Caol Ila is de grootste distillery van Islay. Pas in 2002 werd met de introductie van drie distillery bottelingen (12Y, 18Y en 25Y) serieus ingezet op het bottelen van Caol Ila als single malt. Caol Ila gebruikt 10 washbacks (waarvan 8 Oregon Pine), de fermentatietijd is 60 uur. De distillery heeft drie paar stills, met uitzicht op het eiland Jura.
