A 25 year old Port Ellen distilled in 1978, the fourth release in Diageo's annual Special Releases series. This Islay single malt comes in a 70cl bottle, with 5100 bottles produced. Refill casks gave it a style that pairs delicate fruitiness with maritime character. It is described as bold, powerful and peaty, with notes of pepper, spice and nuts. The nose is grassy with lemon zest, leading to a powerful palate of oak, pepper, maritime and smoky notes. The finish is extremely long.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
