FINISH DATE

The name Port Sgioba (pronounced Skee-bah) from the Gaelic for Port Charlotte. This 2nd release from Port Sgioba is the PS2 which is a 12-year-old Caol Ila aged in bourbon a cask. Bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill filtered and colouring free. It was distilled on the 3rd of November 2000 and bottled on the 5th of November 2012, a date, perhaps, befitting a restless spirit that has struggled for recognition.
To Compliment this bottling, the label features an original painting by Scottish artist Ian Gray. The classic scene features the stunning view from the distillery still room across to the Paps of Jura, which stand sentinel over the famous whisky Isle.

Caol Ila
Islay’s biggest distillery is arguably its most consistent and underappreciated. Caol Ila was established in 1846 and when through a handful of owners thanks to various financial difficulties. The biggest change came in 1972 when the distillery and the majority of buildings were demolished and rebuilt. Famously, stepping into the gap during this period was inaction was the Brora distillery in Sutherland. After further investment in 2011, Caol Ila’s capacity increased to 6.5 million litres as its reputation continued to grow. Widely available in official versions and via independent bottlers, it now forms part of the Johnnie Walker experience with enhanced facilities for visitors.

How can I bid on the auctions?
You’ll need an account with us to place bids in any auction. Registration takes 60 seconds and there’s a small £5.00 registration fee, payable by credit or debit card. Once paid, you will be registered and can place bids in the auction immediately. The registration fee helps us ensure you’re a real person and a genuine bidder.
Why does the timer extend on a lot?
In the interest of fairness, any bids placed in the final five minutes of a particular lot will extend the end time of that Lot by 15 minutes. We believe in giving our customers a fair amount of time to increase their bid should they wish. Last second sniping isn’t in the spirit of our auctions and by using this system there is no benefit to doing so.
