6 Year Old Whisky

First produced for use in gentleman's clubs, Old Fitzgerald is softer in flavour due to the use of wheat (rather than rye) as the secondary grain in the mash.

A revamped Jim Beam Black, now with the title of 'triple-aged' which refers not to three different types of cask (as that would not be allowed under bourbon regulations) but to the 6 year old age statement, which is three times the minimum maturation period for bourbon.

A straight Bourbon 'Of Topmost Class' according to the label, which is also adorned with a drawing of the venerable-looking Col. Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr, one of Americas's most respected whiskey pioneers, who was involved with seven different distilleries during his career and is sometimes referred to as 'the father of the modern bourbon industry.

Possessing the greatest name in American whiskey, aged for six long years and bottled at a no-nonsense 103 US proof with an extra kick provided by the substituition of rye for wheat in the mash. What's not to like?

A litre bottle of Jim Beam Signature, a limited edition 6 year-old 'Beam bottled at the slightly-stronger-than usual strength of 44.5%. This is the first in a range of super-premium small batches of 'Beam, and has been distilled by Fred Noe from an unusual family mash recipe involving a combination of six different grains.

An elegant rye from the folks at Wild Turkey, introduced in 2007 and popular since day one.

An incredibly rare 1960s Glencadam 6yo Special Reserve in excellent condition for its age. A really beautiful bottle with a springcap, this is a fantastically well-preserved piece with a perfect level.

A young bottling of Glen Mhor that we believe was bottled in the 1960s. A rare official release from the distillery, closed since 1983 and now demolished, and aged for just 6 years.
