Originally only available to employees, this is a rare collector's item.

The Rare Malts are a now-discontinued series of cask-strength releases designed by Diageo to showcase some of the hidden treasures in their portfolio. This particular dram is all the more precious for having come from a distillery demolished in 1983.

A bottle of Glenlivet's 'Unblended All-Malt' 20 year old whisky, bottled as a limited edition of 2400 bottles for the company's Italian importer Baretto. We believe this to have been released in the late 1960s, meaning the whisky would have been distilled immediately post-war in the 1940s.

Widely regarded as one of the finest Taliskers ever released, garnering 95 points from Jim Murray and the comment 'Miss this and your life will be incomplete'. Simply stunning.
