I purchased this cask-strength, single-cask, hand-filled whisky at Feis Ile 2019. Since this is The Devil's Cask, I saved it to open at 6 PM on my 66th birthday. It was distilled on 6 Feb 1997, matured in a sherry cask for 22 years, and bottled for Feis Ile 2019 on 15 May 2019. I have bottle # 209 out of 240.
