Secret Islay 33 Year Old Joins Sansibar's White Label

Sansibar Whisky unveils a rare single malt from Islay’s south coast

A new jewel emerges in the prestigious White Label Series by Sansibar Whisky. The Secret Islay 33 Years Old, distilled in 1991 and bottled in 2025, brings depth, mystery, and unmistakable Islay character to the table. With its natural presentation and 48.2% ABV, this limited edition is destined to captivate collectors and seasoned connoisseurs alike. Though the distillery remains unnamed, the aromatic profile speaks volumes, hinting at a legendary south coast origin.

Elegant and Understated Presentation

As part of the minimalist White Label Series, the bottling embraces a clean, refined design that lets the whisky speak for itself. The understated label and classic bottle silhouette echo the purity and focus of this expression—uncolored, unchill-filtered, and deeply authentic. A presentation that honors substance over spectacle, ideal for collectors who value essence over extravagance.

Bourbon Hogshead Maturity & Coastal Complexity

Matured for over three decades in a Bourbon Hogshead, this single malt delivers a profound and layered profile. The nose opens with fresh mint and menthol, interwoven with gooseberries and candied lemon zest. On the palate, expect medicinal smoke, green apple, steak pepper, and candied melon. The finish is medium-long, laced with dry Riesling-like acidity and maritime smoke—a sensory voyage through Islay’s wild southern shores.
