【Introduction of Distillery】
1846年，Hector Henderson 決定在艾雷島東海岸的 Port Askaig 旁的一個狹窄海灣建造一家小型酒廠。他將這個酒廠命名為 Caol Ila，蓋爾語意為「艾雷島海峽」（Sound of Islay），這片水域正好在酒廠的俯瞰之下。
雖然以生產泥煤威士忌為著稱，但 Caol Ila 在 1999年因當時產業環境關係而開始生產無泥煤威士忌。在生產泥煤威士忌的整個製程中則採用較長的發酵時間、較高的酒心切點及較高的蒸餾器等都有助於減少重酚類化合物產生，後續主要都在二次填充波本桶中進行熟成，使其帶有清新、果香和些許花香的特質。
