Lot number: 072-3451
Winning bid: £600
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 as part of Douglas Laing's Old & Rare range.
Distilled: September 1978
Bottled: November 2008
Age: 30 years old
54.2% ABV / 70cl
