This bottling of a 9-year-old single malt from an unnamed Islay distillery was produced by the independent bottler Heathen Spirits / Scott Gordon in the Sagas of Scotland series as Edition No.1 Torvr - The Beginning. The whisky matured for 8 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, received a finish in a first-fill ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry cask and was bottled in 120 bottles in 2025.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
