Informations: This bottling is a late variant from Gordon & MacPhail's original Cask series, with which the company produced cask strength bottlings for the first time to follow the market trend in the late 1980s. The contents of this bottle were matured in casks #7244 and #7247 from 11 December 1979 until bottling in October 2000.

Distillery: Port Ellen: The distillery was founded in 1825 and taken over by John Ramsay in 1836. Whisky history was reportedly made here with the first use of patent & coffey stills and a spirit safe. It was closed from 1929 to 1966, and only a few years after its renovation it was closed again in 1983. The buildings are now listed and preparations are being made to bring it back into use.
Region: Islay: 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.
Country: Scotland: 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.
