Islay, is located off the West coast, and has eight distilleries scattered across this small island. With a very distinctive, heavily peated style, these smoky whiskies are not easy to forget, and have achieved somewhat of a cult status among whisky lovers.
An incredibly rare bottle of 1973 Bowmore, produced in 2001. This was never commercially sold, but was given to attendees of a dinner held at Blair Castle to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the formation of Stanley P Morrison Limited, Bowmore's then owners. An exceptional collector's item.
From the now-defunct vintage series from Bowmore comes this sherry-cask-aged 1973 vintage, which we estimate was bottled in the 1980s.
Bottled for the Feis Ile in 2006, this rare Ardbeg 1975 was matured in a single Fino sherry cask.
A 1969 Bowmore by Douglas Laing, as part of their Old Malt Cask series. This has been aged for 31 years, and bottled March 2001.
The oldest-ever release from the distillery, this 37 year old was part of Diageo's 2013 Special Releases. A mix of European and American oak, it has depth and incredible intensity for such an old Islay whisky.
