Caol Ila 12 Year Old delivers the signature smoky character of Islay with remarkable balance. On the nose, expect peat smoke intertwined with briny sea spray and subtle citrus notes. The palate opens with rich, peaty smoke that gradually reveals layers of dried fruit, vanilla, and a hint of iodine—characteristic of the island's maritime influence. A touch of sweetness emerges mid-palate before the finish turns dry and lingering, with smoke and salt that define this classic Islay expression.
