In this episode of Bourbon With Friends. The crew on location at Caol Ila distillery Islay Scotland. We are sitting down with Sam Hale the distillery manager of Caol Ila.

Pronounced “Cull Eela." It’s the Gaelic name for the Sound of Islay, which separates the island from Jura. For some, the distillery’s pronunciation is as remote as its location, sitting as it does on the rugged eastern coast, where it has remained hidden from view since 1846.

Reopened in August 2022 after an exciting renovation project, visit Caol lla, The Islay Home of Johnnie Walker. Join us for our signature tour at Caol Ila, Flavour Journey, for a full-sensory, immersive experience. Includes a distillery tour followed by a guided tasting of 3 drams and a wee cocktail, served in our bar with views of the Paps of Jura.
