This is a truly unique union of Scotch Whiskies from nine different distilleries. Forty litres of Isla Whisky were 'pillaged' for charity during the summer 2005, all of which were at least twelve years old. There are just 500 bottles of this fantastic and originally un-buyable expression.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a warm, sunlit caramel glow and coppery depth, edged by a whisper of mahogany.

Nose

Bold peat smoke and sea-salt brine surge from the glass, followed by lush dried fruit, toffee and cocoa. Sherry-softened oak threads vanilla and spice through the profile, while iodine and maritime minerals keep it brisk and coastal, finishing long and fragrant.

Palate

An oily, full-bodied palate of monumental peat and coastal brine, tempered by sherry-enriched dark fruit. Notes of burnt caramel, cocoa, and fig mingle with leather and iodine. Rich vanilla and spice thread through the smoke, delivering a robust, long finish of ash, sea salt, and lingering warmth.

Finish

Long, peaty and coastal, with sea-salt and smoke lingering on the palate. The finish broadens into a warm, resinous sweetness, then slowly fades through cocoa and oak spice, leaving a drying, mineral afterglow.

Lagavulin
(laga-VOO-lin) Lagavulin was officially founded in 1816 by John Johnston on Islay’s south coast near Port Ellen, though records suggest illicit distilling on the site as far back as the 1740s. Peter Mackie later became one of the most important figures in its history, using Lagavulin as a key part of White Horse and building the short-lived Malt Mill distillery within the grounds in 1908. Malt Mill was later absorbed back into Lagavulin, adding one of the more unusual chapters in the distillery’s history.
