| Caol Ila is Gaelic for the 'Sound of Islay', as in the body of water, not music. The distillery overlooks the sound. However, there be music in each sip of this fine, vibrant, peaty and smoky malt. This exquisite whisky, from the great independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail, is a perfect after-dinner or contemplation malt. |
