1962 Vintage Whisky

Another of Gordon & Macphail's long-aged Glen Grants which, along with Glenfarclas, represent the best-value long-aged sherried Speysides available. Thankfully, Glen Grant is one of those special Speysiders (like Glenfarclas, Mortlach and Macallan) that is capable of withstanding immense oak ageing without tasting like a pile of wet sawdust.
Limited to one Bottle per customer.

A second old 50 year old North British grain whisky from Douglas Laing's Directors' Cut range, following up their 1961 vintage from earlier in 2012 with a 1962. This has been bottled from a single refill butt at a solid cask strength of 57.1%.

You don't get many independent releases from Dailuaine and this one piles on the rarity by being bottled for Italian distributer Samaroli. Distilled in 1962 and released in the 1980s after 24 years in wood. Just 360 bottles were released.

A nigh on 50 year old release from Glenfarclas as part of their 10th release of Family Casks. Fully matured in a single sherry hogshead this is classic old school whisky from the distillery.

A very rare sherry cask Bowmore from 1962 (just a couple of years before the famous Black Bowmore's were distilled), this was bottled by the Italian company Moon Imports in 1990.

Something of an oddity, here - this Macallan 1962 was originally bottled for an overseas market as a fifteen year-old in the mid-1970s, before being repackaged for the Fine and Rare range.
