Bottle Description

The S.S. Politician was a cargo ship that ran aground off the island of Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland on February the 5th 1941 shedding It's cargo including 22,000 to 29,000 cases of whisky (around 250,000 bottles!) This famous part of maritime history in the area inspired the famous novel and film Whisky Galore!.

In October 1989, a salvage company (SS Politician plc) recovered a small number of intact bottles from the wreck. In the 1990s, a commercial blended Scotch was created using a tiny amount of that salvaged whisky mixed with other malt and grain whiskies.
