This limited 10-year-old Caol Ila single malt was specially selected by the malt distillery managers at Diageo Scotland Ltd and bottled at natural cask strength in 2021. As part of the Distillery Managers’ Selection series, this Islay expression offers a bold, unfiltered perspective on Caol Ila’s coastal, smoky character—chosen by those who know its spirit best.
Known for its balance of peat smoke and maritime clarity, Caol Ila shines in this youthful yet complex release. The whisky has been drawn directly from carefully chosen casks, with no chill filtration, no added colour, and bottled at full strength, delivering a raw and uncompromising Islay experience.
Caol Ila
Islay’s biggest distillery is arguably its most consistent and underappreciated. Caol Ila was established in 1846 and when through a handful of owners thanks to various financial difficulties. The biggest change came in 1972 when the distillery and the majority of buildings were demolished and rebuilt. Famously, stepping into the gap during this period was inaction was the Brora distillery in Sutherland. After further investment in 2011, Caol Ila’s capacity increased to 6.5 million litres as its reputation continued to grow. Widely available in official versions and via independent bottlers, it now forms part of the Johnnie Walker experience with enhanced facilities for visitors.
