+ | 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. | ||

+ | | ::: | Each expression of Caol Ila (say 'Cull Ee-la') reflects a special quality of the light at this remote Islay distillery, where sublime malt whiskies have een made for over a hundred and sixty years. Together they picture a day in its secret cove on the Sound of Islay. | | ||
+ | | ::: | The smoothness and fine balance of Caol Ila 12 year old suggests the rounded shapes of the stills, softly outlined in a cloudy day's first glimpse of the sun. 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. | | ||

+ | | ::: | Douglas Laing' | ||
+ | | ::: | By marrying and expertly blending aged single malts together, we have created the ultimate maritime malt. Anticipate wave soaked rocks and a salty, oceanic freshness on the nose with sweet malt. Its complex palate carries soft ash with peat, a honey sweetness plus crushed sugar, juicy barley and late pepper. All that is neatly replicated on the long, moreish finish. | | ||
