Bunnahabhain Staoisha 2014 5YO, Sea Shepherd Storm-Kelpie

Scotland's Corryvreckan is the worlds third largest whirlpool and is classified as 'extremely dangerous' by the Royal Navy. This would suggest this isn't the safest place to take a dip in the sea. However, dip they did.

At the tides highest the Corry stops its whirling and sleeps for 45 minutes - time that gave two brothers and their crew from NZ's Opoutere Open Water, the opportunity to swim for their lives across a mile of freezing Atlantic ocean. All in the name of bring you, dear whisky fan, the world's first Whirlpool whisky.

In this bottling are the 4 drams that made that swim. Strapped to legs and towed in floats by a couple of Kiwi blokes and their British pals.

Why would they do this you ask? Simply all in the name of protecting another brave little swimmer. Maui's Dolphin.

Like the two brothers, Maui is native to New Zealand and is the world's smallest dolphin. They are endangered and need your help. They created this bottling to help raise funds to do some good in the world.

One of only 2020 bottles produced.
Aged for 5 years.
