Single Malt Whisky

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.

One of the hugely sought-after series of sherried Macallans released at the tail end of the 1990s. Bottled in small batches from casks deemed to good to be added to the vat for the standard 18yo, these Gran Reservas are now very hard to come by.

Another of the hugely popular Macallan Gran Reserva series, released around the turn of the century. These releases were made in small batches from casks that were too good to be vatted into the standard 18yo release and are highly prized by collectors today.

A very special 1964 vintage Macallan bottled from sherrywood by independent bottlers Signatory in the early 1990s. 1960s Macallans are highly sought after, and cask strength independent bottlings are difficult to come by. This should be superb.

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.

Over the years Springbank Local Barley has become quite the sought-after whisky, some even say that their finest whisky is amongst these bottlings. Each release is made using locally sourced materials, which Springbank claim are all from within an 8 mile radius of the distillery (except the casks of course).

Another legendary bottling in the always-impressive Prestonfield, this 20 year old Springbank 1967 received 93-94 points from Malt Maniac Serge Valentin on Whiskyfun and despite being from a multi-cask batch is now extremely difficult to find, having been bottled in the late 1980s.

A marvellous old 1960s bottle of Tamdhu 15yo, bottled at 43%.

A very nice, quaint old 1970s bottle of Tamdhu 16yo, bottled at 43%.

A 37 year old release of Bowmore, distilled in 1968 and bottled at a cask strength of 43.4%. A limited edition bottling that looks to have been the marriage of just 4 or 5 bourbon casks, it's gone down as one of the greats from this golden decade of production.

A single cask release of Ardbeg 1974 for the UK market, this time a mere 132 bottles from a bourbon cask. We are told there are very few old casks left at Ardbeg for this kind of bottling, so this may be one of the last released on these shores.

A cask-strength release of Ardbeg 1974 for the UK market, bottled in 2006 from a single bourbon cask. We are told there are very few old casks left at Ardbeg for this kind of bottling, so this may be one of the last released on these shores.

Bottled in 2006 for the Italian market, this rare Ardbeg 1975 was matured in a single ex-sherry cask.

A legendary Longrow 1973, bottled at 50% in 1988 by Samaroli as part of their Fragments of Scotland series. This one is interesting as it's less smoky than the OB's of the same vintage (the first year that Longrow was distilled at Springbank), though it still scooped a huge 92 point score from Serge on Whiskyfun.

One of a clutch of legendary Old Malt Cask bottlings of Ardbeg released around the turn of the century. This expression is from 1972.

A single cask whisky from Bowmore. This has been aged for 34 years and bottled at cask strength by Duncan Taylor for their Peerless range.
