More questions

The Caol Ila 2001-2013 Distiller Edition 70cl Whisky, presented in an elegant gift box, represents a refined choice for whisky enthusiasts. Distilled in 2001 and bottled in 2013, this single malt whisky comes from the island of Islay, renowned for its intense spirits characterized by an intriguing smoky touch.

The Caol Ila distillery, situated in an idyllic location overlooking the Islay Strait, is famous for its ability to balance complexity and accessibility in its whiskies. This limited edition was matured in select casks that emphasize the classic peat profile, with additional sweet notes derived from the use of casks that previously contained moscato.

On the nose, the Caol Ila Distiller Edition offers a captivating bouquet of peat smoke, mixed with subtle hints of dried fruit and vanilla. On the palate, the complexity develops with layers of dark chocolate, caramelized fruit, and a lingering, elegant smoky note, culminating in a long and satisfying finish.

Every sip of this whisky tells the story of its unique terroir, making it a perfect gift for connoisseurs, as well as an excellent addition to any personal collection of high-quality spirits.

The story
Caol Ila was founded in 1846 near Port Askaig on the island of Islay. Over its history it has changed ownership several times and undergone redevelopment (the modern site was largely rebuilt in the 20th century). Today it is part of the Diageo portfolio and, after a significant investment in visitor facilities, the site reopened with a new visitor experience in 2022.
Distillation
Copper pot stills (traditional single malt distillation).
Ageing
Maturing in wooden casks (hoghsheads/ex-bourbon/refill); some expressions receive secondary finishes in fortified wine casks (for example Moscatel) for Distillers Edition or special releases.
Raw materials
  • malted barley
  • spring water (Loch nam Ban)
  • peat (for peated malts supplied by Port Ellen Maltings)
