Description

This is an incredibly rare 10-year-old Port Ellen Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, bottled by Signatory Vintage in 1993 as part of their Scottish Wildlife series. Distilled in 1983, this expression features an otter on the label and was part of a series where a donation was made to the Scottish Wildlife Trust for each bottle sold. It represents a significant piece of whisky history from the now-closed Port Ellen distillery, known for its pronounced peat smoke and complex flavour profiles.
