This expression is a great introduction to Islay and the smokier side of whisky. Lighter than many of its brethren, Caol Ila 12 Year Old brings all the unique aromas and flavours of classic Islay but with a slightly lighter profile. Expect peaty and smoky tar notes balanced by hints of orange marmalade and vanilla. This expression is a great introduction to Islay and the smokier side of whisky.
