1965 Vintage Whisky

A lovely old bottle of Glen Grant distilled in 1965 and bottled at the start of the 1970s for the Italian market.

A rare old Cadenhead's bottling of this top Speysider. It's great how the fonts on these labels are such a good guide to the tastes of the times - check out the Dallas Dhu '62 or the Macallan 1963 if you don't believe us.

Another 'single blend' from Adelphi, a single cask bottling of Lochside that is made up of both grain and malt whisky from 1965, distilled at the distillery and filled into the cask together. A big hit at The Whisky Show 2012.

A bottling of 1965 vintage Glen Grant from the depths of the Gordon & Macphail warehouses. Bottled at about 40 years old and impressively well-priced for that age.

A 1965 vintage whisky from now closed Glen Mhor, a victim of the 1983 spate of distillery closures and now demolished. Bottled by Gordon & Macphail in 2005, this is about 40 years old.

A 1965 vintage Glenlivet at a remarkably reasonable price thanks to the folks at Gordon & Macphail and their unfeasibly big collection of old casks.

A 1965 vintage Glen Elgin, bottled for Italian distributer Samaroli, although with a neck label and bottle shape that is rather reminiscent of Cadenhead's releases of the time... A 14 year old whisky matured in sherry wood.

An extremely rare bottling of 1960s Tullibardine from respected Edinburgh indie bottler Cadenhead's. This is from the 1965 vintage and was bottled in early 1984.

A 1965 vintage release from Glenfarclas as part of the 9th outturn of bottlings in their Family Casks range. Matured for over 45 years in a sherry butt and bottled in 2012.

A very dark treacle in colour. Light on the nose initially, with some walnuts dipped in chocolate coming through. Similar to the previous 1965 this needs some time to open up in the glass. After forty four years in a cask this whisky needs some breathing space, a drop or two of water has the same effect. Distinct heather honey notes emanating after a couple of minutes. An incredibly easy drinking whisky. Bottled 2010.
