Caol Ila 8 y.o.

The Scottish distillery Caol Ila is located on the Isle of Islay, founded in 1846 by Hector Henderson, produces some of the best Single Malts in the world. It takes its name from the strait it overlooks, which separates the island of Islay from the island of Jura and represents one of the most evocative areas of Scotland, called in English “Sound of Islay” and in Gaelic “Caol Ila”: In 1974 the company undergoes a major renovation and becomes the largest distillery on the island, while jealously preserving the old traditional methods skillfully handed down by workers and peat cutters. The malting of the barley takes place locally in Port Ellen, to then be distilled with stills faithfully reconstructed from the original nineteenth-century ones. The water used in the production process is the pure water of a stream gushing from the rocks of nearby Loch nam Ban, while all the phases are skillfully directed by Bill Stitchel, following step by step all the steps as his father, grandfather and his father did before. great grandfather. These are the reasons that make Caol ila Scotch whiskey among the best single malts ever in total respect of ancient traditions.
