Islay Malt of the Month

CAOL ILA 12 yrs £27.99 plus P&P

Seven Great names make up the distilleries on the Island of Islay. So distinct and revered are the malts from Islay that the Island has become a region in itself. Bunnahabain and Bruichladdich generally produce the more lightly peated malts, whereas the Lagavulin, Laphroig, Bowmore and Ardbeg distilleries are the forerunners of infamous heavily peated whiskies. The Caol Ila produces very sophisticated and complex malts. The stills at the Caol Isla are charged to low capacity, allowing more boiled-off alcohol to come in contact with the copper, giving a very pure spirit prior to casking.

Judging one malt against another, saying one is better or one is worse is superfiscial to say the least, but if we are to suffer from such human frailty, then we can only conclude that all seven distilleries on Islay would rank in the first fifteen of the hundred and thirty or so whisky makers to be found producing in Scotland.
