1971 Vintage Whisky

A 1971 vintage from (as of 2011) mothballed Tamdhu, bottled by Gordon & Macphail. It's currently hoped that we'll see the distillery back up and running in 2012, thanks to it being purchased by Ian Macleod.

Very few expressions of Glen Elgin have been bottled, so this is a rare treat. Released in 2003, this is a delicious honeyed, fruity dram from an often overlooked distillery that has long been rated 'First Class' by blenders lists.

A very rare distillery bottling of Mortlach, one of the most under-rated Speysides around. This 1971 vintage was released a few years ago as part of Diageo's 'Superpremium' series.

Bottled in 2011 after four decades in a single sherry butt, this cask stength 1971 vintage Glenfarclas will make a great gift for any sherried Speyside fan born in that year.

The oldest whisky in Glendronach's 4th release of single cask whiskies, this was distilled in 1971 and matured for 40 years in a PX puncheon to produce a spicy, dark and fruity dram. MAXIMUM 1 BOTTLE PER CUSTOMER.

A beautiful 40 year old vintage Glen Garioch, bottled by the folks at Morrison Bowmore for The Whisky Exchange and released at The Whisky Show in 2011. 1971 Glen Garioch is known for being more peaty than usual, and this delicate, restrained old school dram has a lovely thread of smoke, plus tropical fruit and medicine cabinet aromas. Fabulous.

A special single-cask Glendronach 1971 bottled for the Japanese market, Cask 441 is an Oloroso Sherry butt bottled in September 201 at the grand old age of 39 years old. As before we have very limited stock of these, so it must be MAXIMUM 1 BOTTLE PER CUSTOMER.

From the distillery also known as Glenesk comes this little-seen and hugely under-rated Rare Malts bottling under the Hillside moniker. A bit OTT at full strength, with a drop of water this dram reveals a hidden honeyed beauty.

A special edition Glenmorangie bottled for the 250th Anniversary of the battle of Culloden, the final major battle of the Jacobite Rebellion. A 1970 vintage whisky presented in a 'wonky' bottle and handcrafted wooden box.
