On 3rd February 1940 the freighter SS Politician slipped her moorings and sailed into history and legend. Her unfortunate demise in the South of Eriskay presented the local inhabitants of the islands of the Outer Hebrides with an irresistible opportunity which was subsequently immortalised by the pen of Sir Compton Mackenzie.
This whisky, too, has been inspired by the folklore surrounding the tale of the "Polly" and thus it bears the name Whisky Galore.
