Caol Ila 12 is the Islay whisky that shouldn't be on your 'to try' list—it should already be in your glass! With restrained smoke, bright citrus, and a beautifully salty finish, this dram delivers complexity without overwhelming your palate.
Caol Ila 12 is a serial award-winner that works brilliantly in cocktails, particularly in a smoky Highball—making it one of the most versatile Islay malts for creative whisky mixing.
Pair this with smoked salmon or smoked cheese: the whisky's salty, smoky character complements these dishes beautifully, while the citrus notes provide a refreshing contrast that elevates the entire tasting experience.
