Caol Ila is considered to be one of the lighter of the Islays. Medium-bodied with a rounded flavour. Pale in colour with a greenish tinge. This malt has a peaty nose, with distinct floral notes. It is described as tasting slighty of seaweed/iodine, lightly medicinal, smoky, salty, sweet with a dry peppery finish. For lovers of Ardbeg, Laphroaig, and Lagavulin, this Islay distillery is less famous but very highly rated. Sweet, smoky and lip-smackingly good!
