Description

This small-batch Caol Ila 8 Year Old from Douglas Laing’s Premier Barrel range is an expressive, youthful Islay single malt that captures the distillery’s signature coastal smoke with remarkable clarity. Matured for eight years in a carefully selected oak cask, it balances bright, fresh peat with underlying sweetness and gentle maritime character. On the nose, vibrant notes of bonfire smoke, sea spray, and lemon zest rise above soft malt and a touch of herbal peat. The palate is lively and smoky, offering flavours of warm ash, salted barley, citrus oils, and a hint of vanilla from the oak. The finish is long, clean, and coastal — lingering with gentle pepper spice, drifting smoke, and a final wave of maritime freshness. A bold yet approachable Islay dram, beautifully presented in Premier Barrel’s iconic ceramic decanter and perfect for peat lovers seeking youthful intensity with refined balance.

about the distillery

Caol Ila Distillery

In 1846, Glasgow distillery owner Hector Henderson picked a little bay on the Sound of Islay for his distillery site. He named it for the sound itself, using the Gaelic Caol Ila, and it was across this sound the little puffer ships made their round trips to the mainland, slowly helping to establish the distillery as the biggest on Islay. Pronounced 'cull-eela', the distillery is situated on the North Eastern shores of Islay with magnificent views across the Sound of Islay to the spectacular Paps of Jura. The annual production of this distillery is over 3 million litres of alcohol per year, and it’s often referred to as a whisky factory. The pure spring water used in Caol Ila rises from limestone in nearby Loch nam Ban, and falls towards the sea by the distillery. Caol Ila is one of the lighter Islay Whiskies, lighter in colour than its powerful neighbours, but with distinctive floral and peppery notes which complement the traditional Islay peaty flavour.
