DUI Professional Drink Profile
Caol Ila 12 Year Single Malt Scotch
A public drink database profile for BAC simulation, drinking-pattern analysis, and litigation-support workflow review.

BAC Simulation Context
DUI Professional uses drink profiles as structured inputs for alcohol dose, absorption timing, and elimination modeling. This profile describes the concentration and reference serving volume used when a full drink is added to a simulation.
1.50 oz at 43% equals about 1.08 U.S. standard drinks because one U.S. standard drink contains 0.6 fl oz ethanol. Review how these values are used in BAC simulation software or compare it against the full drink database.

Caol Ila 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Background
Caol Ila is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky brand in Diageo's portfolio. Diageo brand material states that Glasgow distillery owner Hector Henderson chose a site on the Sound of Islay for the distillery in 1846, and identifies Caol Ila 12 Year Old as a core serve. DUI Professional maintains this profile as a whisky reference input, using the listed ABV and serving volume for BAC simulation and dose documentation.
Professional Use
- Compare drink assumptions during DUI and criminal-defense case review.
- Document beverage concentration and volume used in BAC simulation reports.
- Review drinking-pattern inputs with forensic toxicology and expert-witness workflows.
- Support training examples for alcohol absorption, elimination, and retrograde extrapolation.
Standard Drink Math
A U.S. standard drink uses 0.6 fl oz of pure ethanol. This profile's 1.50 oz reference serving at 43% ABV contains 0.65 oz ethanol, equal to 1.08 standard drinks.
That ethanol dose is the starting point for BAC simulation software; consumed fraction, timing, absorption, elimination, and body-composition assumptions are modeled separately. Compare other entries in the drink database or use the related profiles below.
