For many THE Islay malt, it has attained near cult status since the distillery was mothballed in 1983. The stills were shipped abroad in the early 1990s and the distillery was demolished shortly after. The warehouse is still there, allowing Diageo and independent bottlers to keep releasing bottles from an ever dwindling stock.

Bottled by Ian McLeod & Co. for its Chieftains Range which is bottled at cask strength, without colour being added and chill-filtering affecting the whisky.

Age: 30 years old

Cask Type: Hogshead

Cask Number: 1518

50.1%ABV / 70cl
