Caol Ila Distillery


Sipsmith Independent Spirits

Caol Ila se encuentra en la costa noreste de Islay, con magníficas vistas del estrecho de Islay y las espectaculares Paps of Jura.

En 1846, Hector Henderson eligió un lugar remoto y hermoso para construir su destilería a orillas del estrecho de Islay, con vistas a las Paps of Jura. Hasta el día de hoy, los artesanos continúan con sus métodos tradicionales de producción de whisky de malta para garantizar la calidad distintiva del whisky de malta Caol Ila.

In 1846, Hector Henderson chose a remote and beautiful location to build his distillery on the shores of the Strait of Islay, overlooking the Paps of Jura. To this day, the artisans continue their traditional methods of single malt whisky production to ensure the distinctive quality of Caol Ila single malt whisky. The barley used is malted locally in Port Ellen, and the pure spring water flows from the limestone of nearby Nam Burn lake before reaching the sea at Caol Ila.

Pronounced "Cull Eela," it's the Gaelic name for the Strait of Islay, which separates the island of Jura. For some, the distillery's pronunciation is as remote as its location, perched on the rugged eastern coast, where it has remained hidden since the 19th century. However you say it, it's well worth exploring the fine, smoky whisky produced by generations of islanders.

It reopened its doors in August 2022 after an exciting renovation project.
