Caol IlaCaoli Ila was Established in 1846 near Port Askaig, by Hector Henderson on the Islay in Scotland. Caol Ila means “Sound of Islay” in Gaelic. A waterfall supplied power for the barley hoists and pressure for the fire hydrants. A heat exchanger sea-cools hot process water, returning it to the condensers. Sweet starting, maritime with (in peated bottlings!) a lingering, smoky finish. Islays hidden malt, lighter and more subtle than other Islay whiskies with a malt smokiness that makes it highly prized by connoisseurs. Stunning views from still house across the Sound of Islay. Sea-water heat exchanger cools process water before returning it to the condensers.
