Description

This 25-year-old is from a range of expressions named after the Islay legend of 'The Gulls', and were first bottled in the early 1990s. The bottle is a ceramic decanter adorned with seagulls, inspired by a Scottish legend of two lovers and gulls soaring across Loch Indaal. It is an exquisite representation of Islay's rich distilling heritage, capturing the essence of both coastal smokiness and sherry-finished depth.
