An early 1980s bottling of Glenallachie, distilled in 1969 - the year after construction of the distillery was completed. This was the first vintage bottling of fully mature Glenallachie.
A new bottling of some pretty old Glenrothes by Gordon & Macphail. This 1969 vintage is pretty dark even at 43% so it's safe to say that this has been pretty well-sherried. Bottled in 2008, just shy of four full decades in the wood.
A 1969 vintage independent bottling of Linkwood from the folks at Gordon & Macphail. Very few official bottlings of Linkwood make their way out of the distillery and it's thanks to releases like this that we get to see how well the spirit ages over the years.
A long aged bottling of Strathisla from independent bottling veteran Gordon & Macphail, whose warehouses are filled with impressive number of treats like this. Clocking in at over 40 years old and packed full of sherry fruit and spice.
A Gordon & Macphail bottling of little-seen Speysider Miltonduff. From the colour, we're hazarding a guess that this is from sherry wood. Bottled in 2008, just shy of its 40th birthday.
A rare bottling of Glen Mhor whisky from 1969. The distillery closed down in 1983. This bottling was limited to just 2265 bottles at the time of release, who knows how many of these are still around today.
A 1969 vintage Glen Grant bottled by respected independent James McArthur. This was bottled in the year 2000 making it about 31 years old and it looks to have picked up quite a bit of colour in that time.
A cracking Gordon & Macphail bottling of whisky from Linkwood. Distilled back in 1969 and bottled almost 35 years later in 2003 this garnered a very encouraging 92 points from the Malt Maniacs.
Another cask strength vintage sherry hogshead from Glenfarclas bottled as part of the Family Casks series. The perfect gift for anyone born in 1969.
Speyside's best distilleries. All but three of the range (1952, 1979 & 1984) are from first fill or refill sherry casks.
A bottling of 1969 vintage Glen Mhor from Italian independent Sestante. This was aged for 15 years and was released shortly after the distillery closed.
