Caol Ila was established in 1846 and has weathered a string of ownership changes over the decades, most dramatically in 1972 when the majority of the original distillery buildings were demolished and rebuilt. Famously, neighbouring Brora distillery stepped in to cover production during that gap. Since further investment in 2011 raised capacity to 6.5 million litres, Caol Ila's reputation has continued to grow, and it now also anchors part of the Johnnie Walker visitor experience on Islay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 16-year-old Fèis Île edition has been matured in Amoroso sherry casks, adding a rich, fruity depth to Caol Ila's classic coastal, lightly smoky character. Bottled at cask strength (53.9% ABV), natural colour and non-chill filtered, just 3,000 bottles were produced, making this an increasingly sought-after release for festival collectors and Islay enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52708499980608,"sku":"JW-9871-CAO","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5467\/0144\/files\/IMG_2393-Photoroom.png?v=1783699581"},{"product_id":"caol-ila-18-yo-shop","title":"Caol Ila 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 70cl, 43% ABV","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaol Ila 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 70cl, 43% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA benchmark expression from Caol Ila, one of Islay's most prolific and respected distilleries, the 18 Year Old represents the distillery at its most refined and considered. Sitting on the shores of the Sound of Islay with views across to the Paps of Jura, Caol Ila has long been one of the island's most important distilleries, and this 18-year-old expression showcases why it has earned such a devoted following among Islay whisky enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCompared to some of its more aggressively peated island neighbours, Caol Ila 18 offers a more measured, elegant take on the Islay style. Eighteen years of maturation has allowed the smoke to soften and integrate beautifully, revealing a more complex, layered character beneath — a dram that rewards those who take their time with it. Bottled at 43% ABV, it is approachable enough for those new to peated whisky while offering sufficient depth and nuance to satisfy the most experienced Islay drinker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52708501061952,"sku":"JW-1048-CAO","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5467\/0144\/files\/caol-ila-18-year-old-single-malt-scotch-whisky-70cl-43-abv-7691510.png?v=1783045508"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.just-whisky.co.uk\/collections\/caol-ila-single-malt-scotch-whisky.oembed","provider":"Just Whisky Online Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
