Historic Significance: The island of Tiree, known as “Tìr an Eòrna” (The Land of Barley), once had numerous illicit distilleries, but whisky production ceased in the 1800s. This release is a revival of that heritage.

Cask Maturation: The spirit was matured in a combination of casks, including:

American Oak ex-Bourbon Quarter Casks (92%)

A Virgin Oak Cask (8%)

The spirit was then finished for two years in first-fill Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads.
