Description
Gaelic for ‘The Sound of Islay’, the fierce stretch of water that floods past Port Askaig at the narrows between Islay and Jura, the Caol Ila distillery has stood since 1846 like a sentry overlooking the port and the northern access to the island. Somewhat utilitarian in its stature, it has never held the same romanticism or notorious reputation as some of its boisterous neighbors.
Not to be overlooked, however!
