This 12 Years Old single malt perfectly represents the distillery's style. Compared to the heavy peat of Islay's south coast, Caol Ila offers a fresher, more maritime character with an olive oil texture. It is not only a vital component of Johnnie Walker blends but also a classic staple for peat lovers worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails style='margin-top: 20px; cursor: pointer; background-color: #fdfdfd; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #eee; border-radius: 8px;'\u003e\n\u003csummary style='font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 10px;'\u003eRead More Brand Stories\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Caol Ila distillery overlooks the Paps of Jura across the sound. Despite being one of the largest producers on Islay, its 12 Years Old maintains artisanal quality. The use of large pot stills helps capture lighter esters, ensuring the smoky profile is always accompanied by bright citrus and fruit notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production process is meticulous, using water from Loch Nam Ban, which imparts a unique mineral quality. Aged for 12 years in bourbon casks, the spirit absorbs delicate vanilla and caramel flavors that fuse perfectly with the peat smoke. Before the early 2000s, most Caol Ila was destined for blends; since the official launch of the 12 Years Old, the world has been captivated by its purity and elegance as a single malt. For drinkers seeking balance without overwhelming heaviness, Caol Ila 12 Years Old is an excellent daily dram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Caol Ila","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49494740402478,"sku":"caol ila 12yo","price":450.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9975\/8260\/files\/caol-ila-12yo-43percent-scotch-whisky-18867.jpg?v=1765400892","url":"https:\/\/alcoholpleasehk.com\/en\/products\/caol-ila-12yo-whisky","provider":"Alcohol Please","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
