Duncan was the nephew of John Johnston of Lagavulin and cousin to the Laphroaig Johnstons and so the family were involved with yet another distillery on the island. About The DistilleryPronounced “cull-eela”, this blender’s darling (and the largest-capacity distillery on tiny Islay) only became available as an official distillery-bottled single malt in a regular lineup in 2002, although it was founded in 1846.

When distilling resumed in 1974, Caol Ila was the largest producer of single malt on the Isle of Islay. I found really peaty stuff mellowed and enjoyed/suffered a drop off in intensity after a few months.
