Caol Ila 12 Year Old is a single malt from Islay. The distillery takes its name from the Gaelic for Sound of Islay, the strait between Islay and Jura that it overlooks, and it makes a lighter style of Islay malt. The nose is rich, with Shreddies, toffee and hints of violet, and smoky bacon appears after a minute or two in the glass. The palate is fairly light in texture, with toffee, vanilla and pear and a hint of ash at the back. The finish is light in intensity but complex, ending in ash, tar and light peat.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
