In 1846, founder Hector Henderson chose for his distillery a small bay on the Sound of Islay, a narrow strait between the islands of Islay and Jura off the west coast of Scotland. He wanted this place because the small puffer ships made their journeys to the mainland, slowly making him the largest distillery on Islay. This Distillers Edition is a limited edition and has matured on American oak barrels and, for sweeter tones, matured for some time on Moscatel Sherry casks.
