1946 Vintage Whisky

A very rare bottle of Locke's Kilbeggan which was distilled in 1946, before production at the distillery ceased. This whiskey is likely one of the last releases of the original distillery.

A long aged bottle from Gordon & Macphail, a mystery single malt simply labelled as "Macphail's". It doesn't list a bottling date but with a distillation year of 1946 it must be topping 60 years old - an incredible slice of history.

Gordon & Macphail's warehouses are a treasure trove for those looking for old whisky, and this is a prime example - a Glenlivet distilled in 1946. Luckily they make spirit that happily ages for many decades.

A bottle of 1946 vintage Linkwood from veteran independent bottler Gordon & Macphail, one of the only independents who can claim warehouses filled with whiskies as old as this.

This Macallan 1946 is rather unusual, in that it was made with peated malt due to the high post-war prices of coal. In our opinion it also happens to be one of the greatest Macallans ever released. The inital release of this was quite large and took a while for the distillery to sell, but it is now recognised as a classic.

A 1946 vintage Macallan, aged for 56 years (so bottled around 2002) and released as part of their Fine & Rare range of vintaged whiskies. The period immediately post-WWII is considered one of Macallan's finest, with more smokey aromas and flavours in the barley as a result of increased peat use for distillation.
