Auld Alliance Islay 1990 16 Year Old Bottled 2007 - Chieftain's 70cl / 46%

A bottle of The Auld Alliance 16 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky. This was distilled at an undisclosed Islay distillery in December 1990, finished in Châteauneuf du Pape wine casks and bottled in October 2007 by Ian Macleod as a part of the Chieftain's series.

This is one of 684 bottles; it was bottled from cask number 90961/90962.

This is 'The Prohibition Wine Cask Edition', which references the fact that during Prohibition in the 1920s and 1930s, wine casks were often used to store smuggled whisky as they were smaller and easier to transport than large sherry or port casks.
