This rarely available and highly sought-after fantastic set from the Classic Islay Collection was bottled in 2006 in a limited edition with a decorative gift box for the lovers of Islay Single Malts from Diageo and contains the classic Islay Malts. In addition to the very rare and delicious Port Ellen 1978 27 Years 6th release and the Lagavulin 12 Years Special Release 2006, the collection contains three other whiskies from Caol Ila and Lagavulin in 20CL bottles, which express the different styles and flavours of the Islay Whisky and is a perfect introduction to the whiskies of the famous island.
