Unveil a majestic slice of Islay history with Bunnahabhain 44 Year Old – Single Malts of Scotland “Director’s Special.” Distilled in the mid-1970s and laid down in a solitary refill sherry butt, this unpeated spirit slumbered undisturbed beside the Sound of Islay for more than four decades before being bottled in 2020 at natural cask strength. Presented in Elixir Distillers’ elegant decanter and leather case, only 492 individually numbered bottles capture an opulent fusion of honeyed malt, polished oak and coastal freshness—an extraordinary finale for one of Islay’s most revered warehouses.
