An 18 year old Glenturret bottled by Cadenhead's in the late 1970s after 18 years of maturation.

An 18 year old bottling of Glenfarclas bottled for the Morgan Sports Car Club in celebration of their June 1989 Scottish gathering.

A vintage labelled Macallan, distilled in 1971 and bottled at 18 years old by the distillery.

A wonderful old bottle of 18yo single malt from closed Speyside distillery Banff. Bottled in the 1970s - check out that hippy font on the label!

A 1980 vintage Sherry Cask matured Macallan from their 'Exceptional Single Cask' range. This whisky has been aged for around 18 years and bottled at cask strength.

A marvellous old bottle of Glenlivet 18 year old bottled for Italian importers Baretto at the old 80 proof (45.7%). The rear label is numbered saying '1951 Bottle No: ', but it's not clear whether this whisky was distilled or bottled in that year. We reckon distilled is more likely.

A 1984 bottling of 1965 Glenfiddich from veteran independent Cadenhead's. A bit of a rare treat this, as you don't often see independent bottlings of whiskies from the Wm Grant stable these days.

A 1959 vintage whisky from Glenugie, closed since 1983, bottled at 18 years of age in the late 1970s by Cadenhead's.

A truly classic sherried Macallan, this 1979 is regarded as the best of the highly-sought-after Gran Reserva series released in the 1990s to showcase the extreme end of sherried whisky from the distillery. Scoring 91 points on Serge Valentin's whiskyfun.com, this is one of the landmark Macallan releases of the last twenty years.

This 'Green Springbank' is legendary in collectors circles, not only for its curious colour, presumably the result of a full-term maturation in a rum cask, but also for its incredible flavours. Serge Valentin rated the sister bottling of at 93 points on whiskyfun.

An 18 year old Longrow, the smokier of the drams produced by Springbank, bottled by Cadenhead's. Both Sprinbank and Cadenhead's have been owned by the same company since the 1970s, making this an intriguing bottle.

An very rare old Bowmore 18yo from the 1960s in an unusual pear-shaped bottle. The original plastic seal was broken and coming off, we replaced it with a new clear plastic seal.
