Colonsay beverages produce beer, gin and they bottle exceptional whisky. Whether young or very mature, all the whiskies Colonsay Beverages bottle have one thing in common; they are the very finest examples of what individual island and coastal distilleries have to offer!

The first  release in the Scalasaig whisky Single Distillery Vintages Series. These ‘series’ take ‘parcels’ of stock laid to mature at exactly the same time, from the same ‘Vintage’. In this case, Scalasaig whisky have married four magnificent casks filled in 2013: numbers 12058, 12059, 12060 and 12061. These whiskies were ‘finished’ for 18 months in the same Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads they used in the Scalasaig Maiden Voyage Blended Malt.

Bottled at 46.5% alc/vol, this single distillery vintage is non-chill filtered and 100% natural in colour. Limited to 1,490 bottles
