+ | If we are to make the best whisky we must start with the best ingredients. Our barley varieties are grown in Scotland. Always. This is no mere commodity, it is our lifeblood. Our farmers are our partners, not suppliers. They tell us about the soil, the drainage, the wind, the aspect, the micro-climate of every field. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We believe that Islay whisky should have an authenticity derived from where it is distilled and where it is matured, from the philosophies of those who distil it; a sense of place, of terroir, that speaks of the land, the barley and water from which it was made, and of the human soul that gave it life. Our aim is to create a product of flawless integrity and the most thought provoking whisky possible. | ||

Fresh and fruity, it is a classic expression of the Caol Ila character, first seen in 1846. Here are those spicy sea-air aromas and sweet smoky-dry flavours, elegantly expressed with a clarity and balance that come from perfect maturation. | | ||

Anticipate wave soaked rocks and a salty, oceanic freshness on the nose with sweet malt.
