Poit Dhubh, pronounced "potch ghoo" and literally meaning "black pot", is also the Gaelic term for an "illicit still" which traditionally were the source of some of the most revered whiskies. The producers of this whisky are unwilling either to confirm or deny that Poit Dhubh comes from an illicit still.

It is a fine unchilfiltered malt at 43%, partly matured in sherry casks with a soft graceful flavour and a trace of peatiness.
