Producing a lighter Islay whisky, pale in colour, with peaty, floral and peppery notes, Caol Ila is situated between between Islay and Jura. Founded in 1846 by Hector Henderson, the distillery did not fare well, and changed hands in 1854 when Norman Buchanan, owner of the Isle of Jura Distillery, took over. In 1863 the business was acquired by Bulloch Lade & Co and by the 1880s over 670,000 litres of whisky were produced there each year.

Often rating generally highly at spirit ratings competitions, Caol Ila is a distinguished and influential distillery on the Isle of Islay, known for its high-quality peated whiskies that capture the essence of the island’s maritime environment.
