Description

Caol Ila 12 Year Old is a twelve-year-old whisky, a new offering from the Caol Ila distillery on the island of Islay, which started in June 2002. Its name in Celtic means "The Sound of Islay," the splash of the waves. Caol Ila is a fresh, fruity, and smooth, straw-colored malt whisky. Clean nose that highlights mild citrus aromas with a hint of smoke. Oily and smoky taste, with notes of caramel, with a long and sweet aftertaste.

    Full of smoke, iodine, amazing nose, fantastic aftertaste, very oily, very special whisky, NOT for EVERYONE, if you want a light whisky, that doesn't "burn", to put ice, coke, sodas & the like, the liquor stores have Cutty Sark too, guys.......
    No irony, just when you get to pay 50+€ for a whisky, it's good to know what you want to drink ???????

    Every time we will say the same! There is no bad malt whisky... It's all a matter of taste. This one is from the favorite neighborhood of smokers... Islay.. Many great whiskies from there.. Ardbeg Laphroaig Lagavulin Port Ellen Kilchoman Bruichladich ... Excellent example of Islay with medium smokiness and a sweet aftertaste.

    Very good whiskey which tastes similar to Port Askaig 8. Smoky, medium-bodied, and has a hint of iodine flavor

    The best whiskey! I love it. I haven't had many malts, but it's awesome. It's relatively smooth, caramelized, and mainly smoky.

    Another good smoky single malt! Like lagavulin but lighter. Of course, this can only be characterized as a positive. I believe that whiskies of this kind are best paired with a good cigar! And also with crackers and cream cheese with salmon!

    Wonderful with a strong nose, rich oily body and just enough, not excessive smoke. Sweet long aftertaste, consistent value. VFM

    Now that I drink it, it reminds me of Talisker but in a lighter version, both in aroma and taste, and not as peppery. It is very reasonably priced and enjoyable to drink, and it might be the suitable whiskey for someone to enter the world of smokers.

    Tobacco, saltiness, dense smoked meat pear, toffee, and something "medicinal". Spicy.
