A very unusual bottling of Glen Elgin, with a slight (all-natural) green tint. This is a deliciously retro dram, with apples and silky malt on an oak backdrop of the very highest quality.
A Signatory bottling of the exceptionally rare Glenisla - the experimental peated malt made at the Glen Keith distillery in the 1970s. This is a single hogshead from 1977.
A sumptuous (natural) colour on this Glencadam 1977, bottled from a single sherry cask by Douglas Laing for their rarely-less-than-pretty-amazing Platinum Selection. Sweet initially, with plenty of wood as you'd expect and some pleasant savoury notes and burnt toast flavours.
A single cask Bunnahabhain that you can tell has come from a sherry cask as soon as you see it - dark and foreboding, but in a good way. Bottled at cask strength in January 2011 by Douglas Laing for their Platinum Selection range. MAXIMUM 1 PER CUSTOMER.
The fourth of Bruichladdich's 'Legacy' bottlings of the oldest whiskies inherited by the distillery's new owners. This 32 year-old was released in 2005 and was the smallest run of the Legacy series, with a release of just 820 bottles.

A 1980 vintage whisky from Glenlochy. This whisky has been matured for 32 years in a Refill Butt and bottled by Signatory for their Cask Strength Collection.
A very rare distillery bottling of Mortlach, one of the most under-rated Speysides around. This 1971 vintage was released a few years ago as part of Diageo's 'Superpremium' series.
Very few expressions of Glen Elgin have been bottled, so this is a rare treat. Released in 2003, this is a delicious honeyed, fruity dram from an often overlooked distillery that has long been rated 'First Class' by blenders lists.
The first official bottling of Glenugie since a near-impossible-to-find 5yo Grant McDonald bottling from about twenty years ago, this 1977 was bottled in 2010, twenty-seven years after the distillery closed its doors for the last time in 1983. Bottled at its impressive cask strength of 55% abv.
A rare bottle of Glen Esk 1971 vintage whisky. This is a single cask release by Douglas Laing for their Platinum Selection range. This whisky has been aged for 32 years and bottled at cask strength.
Distilled in 1978, this Brora 32 year old is the oldest yet released by Diageo, and was introduced as part of the Special Releases for 2011. A marvellously complex nose with an intricate, medium-peated palate.
A marriage of two casks of whisky distilled at Benromach back in 1969. Matured for 42 years in refill sherry casks it's bottled at 42.6% and is packed full of great sherry flavour.
