A refill butt from the little-seen Strathclyde, Pernod's massive grain distillery with a capacity of nigh on 40 million litres per year, the vast majority of which presumably goes to Chivas and Ballantine's blends.
A very old single hogshead of the 1977 vintage from lesser-known Campbeltown distillery Glen Scotia, bottled by Signatory for their Cask Strength Collection.
A 1977 vintage Glenlivet, released as part of the Old Malt Cask series by indie bottler Douglas Laing. Matured in a refill hoghsead for 34 years and bottled in September 2011 at their standard strength of 50%.
A Signatory bottling of Glenisla, an experimental malt whisky distilled at Glen Keith using lightly peated malt and distilled heavily peated water. Slightly mad and very rare.
A very special expression of the famous Antiquary blend, this 1977 vintage was bottled to celebrate the 150th anniversary of parent company John & William Hardie Ltd.
A 20 year old whisky from Dallas Dhu, now closed and turned into a museum of distilling (worth a visit if you're ever near Elgin). This whisky was distilled in 1977 and bottled at the end of the 20th century for the First Cask range.
A tremedously rich and colourful single cask of the sought-after Glenugie, this has spent its last 100 months of maturation in an Oloroso cask, picking up an extremely fetching russet hue en route.
A 1977 vintage single cask Benriach from independent bottler Adephi. A deeply coloured 34 year old, suggesting that the single cask probably used to hold sherry.
