The chance to drink a 45 year old single malt from Islay is a once in a lifetime opportunity. 45 year old single malt Scotch whisky from an undisclosed Islay distillery, presented as part of the Speciality Drinks Port Askaig range. The whisky for this release was drawn from 5 Sherry butts and married for a year before bottling. Matured in five refill sherry butts, this unpeated single malt was distilled on Hogmanay in 1968 at Islay’s northernmost distillery. We have bottled it at cask strength after the angels took their generous share. Distillation on Islay in the 1960s has become famed for producing magnificent spirit full of tropical fruit flavours, making whiskies like this an incredibly rare treat.
