Another of Gordon & Macphail's long-aged Glen Grants which, along with Glenfarclas, represent the best-value long-aged 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.
A 1968 vintage Glen Keith from the folks at Gordon & Macphail under their Connoisseurs Choice banner. The distillery fell silent in 2000 after a mere 43 years of production but hopefully new owners Chivas Brothers will kick it back into life.
An old bottling of 1968 vintage Caperdonich by Gordon & Macphail as part of their Connoisseurs Choice range. It's from the 1980s, the days of their potentially ill-advised choice of using brown labels.
A very rare old 1970s Connoisseurs Choice bottling of Caperdonich distilled in 1968, just three years after the distillery had reopened after a hiatus of over sixty years.
A very old 1968 Macallan, bottled a few years ago by Murray McDavid in the nick of time - the strength has slipped to just 40.2%. Natural whisky fans will be pleased to know that this whisky has not undergone any 'enhancement' in wine casks.
