Secret Islay 10 Year Old 2009 - Lady of the Glen

This rare unnamed Islay single malt was distilled in August 2009 at an undisclosed distillery and bottled by Hannah Whisky Merchants for the Lady of the Glen series. Initially matured for 10 years in a single bourbon barrel (#7c), a portion of the whisky was then transferred into a small Pedro Ximénez octave cask for a finishing period, adding extra richness and intensity.

The PX octave, sourced from Josafer Tanoaria, imparts deep layers of dried fruit sweetness, complementing the whisky’s coastal Islay character. On the nose and palate, expect notes of raisins, figs, dates, and rich sherried sweetness balanced by the spirit’s underlying smoky complexity.

Bottled in January 2020 at a natural cask strength of 57.9% ABV, this highly limited release yielded just 66 bottles, making it an exceptionally rare and collectible dram.
