The Six Isles - Port Cask Finish

Volume: 0.7 litres | Alcohol content: 48% | Chill filtration: No | Colouring: No

Special Features:

For this limited edition of The Six Isles, a port wine finish adds fruity notes to its smoky island character. The blended malt brings together single malts from Islay, Jura, Skye, Mull, Orkney and Arran. It combines whiskies from six Scottish islands rather than reflecting the style of a single distillery.

The whisky is bottled at 48% without chill filtration or added colouring. The 0.7-litre bottle comes in gift packaging whose design combines a distinctive facial profile with island motifs. A map on the back shows the six islands of origin.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: On the nose, aromatic smoke, orange peel and cranberry combine with an impression of banana toffee tart and fresh dill.
• Palate: On the palate, red fruits and cream meet a hint of vanilla. Watermelon and grapefruit add to these flavours, accompanied by gentle peat smoke.
• Finish: The finish is short, fresh and sweet. A mild peat note lingers.

Distillery/Bottler:

The Six Isles is produced by Ian Macleod Distillers, an independent family-owned company based in Broxburn, West Lothian. Its history spans whisky trading, blending and its own distilleries: in 1963, the Russell family's company acquired Ian Macleod & Co along with the Isle of Skye brand. The purchase of Glengoyne in 2003 added its own malt whisky production; Tamdhu followed in 2011.

Alongside its distillery brands, the company develops blends and independent bottlings, including the Chieftain’s and Dun Bheagan ranges. For The Six Isles Port Cask Finish, Ian Macleod Distillers blends the island malts and bottles the whisky.
