Description
Introducing the Cl12, the twelth stunning batch of this particular expression from Elements of Islay
This whisky from Caol Ila was distilled in 2011 and aged for seven years in two refill sherry butts which yielded a total of 1,901 bottles.
A solid coastal malt, it balances briny freshness with minerals, young grassy flavours, herbs and peat.
Please note, this is limited to 1 per customer.
Distillery: Caol Ila
Port Askaig, Scotland
Sat just along the coast from Port Askaig, Caol Ila looks out over the Sound of Islay towards Jura.
Now the largest distillery on the island, producing double that of even Laphroaig, Caol Ila’s spirit is a key component of Diageo’s blends.
With both peated and unpeated single malt produced at the distillery, there is a range of whiskies available, from the young and feisty to the old and elegant.

Palate: Astringent smoke with salt and liquorice. More orchard fruits, alongside green grass and citrus zest. Lots of cigarette notes, cold smoked meats, chervil and tarragon.
