Fruity and peaty, with hints of dark chocolate and a good punch of sherry. The Islay single malt Scotch whisky was matured in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenéz sherry casks. This bottling was released as part of a series for the Global Travel Retail market. An original bottling from the distillery, aged in the renowned No.1 Vaults - the oldest maturation warehouse in Scotland.

A long and wonderfully balanced finish
Founded in 1779 by John P. Simpson. It is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and first in Islay, located on the southeastern shore of Loch Indaal. The distillery still has its original traditional malting floor and it is known for a variety of styles with a particular touch of peat and smoke. Today the distillery is owned by Suntory and continues producing whiskies of excellent quality.
