1968 Vintage Whisky

An old release of 1968 vintage Glen Grant. This 5 year old whisky would have been bottled around 1973.

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 release of 1968 vintage Tomatin from Gordon & Macphail's Connoisseurs Choice series.

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 Glenlossie from Gordon & Macphail. Aged for 14 years and bottled under their Connoisseurs Choice label, in its 1980s brown label incarnation.

A bottle of 1968 vintage Benromach bottled in the mid 1990s by Murray McDavid after 27 years maturing in a port cask, as you can tell by it's rich colour.

A Duncan Taylor release of 1968 vintage whisky from Bunnahabhain, aged for 36 years and bottled at a close-to-the-line 40.1%.

An marvellous old early 1990s bottling of aged Knockando from the 1968 vintage.

Another release of Benromach 1968, bottled in 2007 - the two bottlings are differentiated only by their strength - this bottling is 45.4% instead of 43%. Incredible colour on this.

A very old Sestante bottling of Benrinnes 1968, bottled at 100 UK proof in the late 1980s.

A 38 year old whisky from Bunnahabhain, distilled in 1968 and bottled from a single cask at cask strength by independent bottler Duncan Taylor.

A well aged Duncan Taylor bottling of Bunnahabhain. Distilled in 1968 and bottled just in time at a cask strength of 40.5%/

A 1968 vintage whisky from closed Dallas Dhu, since turned into a distilling museum, bottled from a single cask in May 2000 by Douglas Laing for their Old Malt Cask range.

The sixth release in the Family Casks series for the 1968 vintage is from a single sherry butt - this has been another very popular vintage.

The third in Glenglassaugh's recent series of very special casks editions released as the Manager's Legacy series. This is a refill sherry cask from 1968, bottled to commemorate Bert Forsyth's stewardship of the distillery. A gentle dram with delightful notes of blackberry pie & heather.

A brilliantly-balanced mouth-coating beauty, this Glenury Royal is a very special whisky from a tragically lost distillery, and we've always been surprised that it didn't sell out years ago - especially after a 92 point review from Whiskyfun.

A 1968 vintage whisky from Glenugie distillery. This whisky has been aged for approximately 32 years and was bottled in 2000 by Gordon & Macphail.

A very rare 1960s vintage from North Port distillery, also known as Brechin. This 1968 vintage was bottled by Gordon & Macphail for the Connoisseurs Choice selection in the early 1980s, around the time the distillery was closed for good.

A 1968 vintage Bruichladdich bottled for the Stillman's Reserve range at 25 years old in the mid-1990s. 1960s vintages of Bruichladdich (particularly old official bottlings such as these) are pretty rare and this collectable bottle should be a treat for drinkers too.
