Another truly epic cask strength malt from Caol Ila, this 26yo 1982 is an oily, smoky dram with a very generous dollop of pepper and hot spices. A tremendous winter malt guaranteed to warm your cockles.
A great example of 1980s Clynelish, bottled by Speciality Drinks Ltd as part of the Single Malts of Scotland range. Lots of red fruit, the traditional Clynelish candle wax and a tasty dose of spicy wood. Maximum 1 bottle per customer.
A 1982 vintage Dufftown bottled at 28 years by Douglas Laing for their Old Malt Cask range. While Dufftown is starting to make an impact as a single malt, it's still rare to see independents as most of production goes into blends, mainly Bell's.
A 1982 vintage from Dufftown in the heart of Speyside. This was bottled by Berry Brothers and Rudd at a cask strength of 53.4% after about 29 years of maturation.
A Signatory bottling of the rarely-seen Imperial single malt from 1982. The distillery is currently mothballed, but was taken over by Chivas Bros in 2005. Chivas owners Pernod Ricard have been reviving distilleries of late, so there's hope yet for Imperial, which has had a troubled history, but has produced some very good, even great, malt whisky in the past.
A 28 year old single cask whisky from Clynelish, up on the north east coast of Scotland near the town of Brora. This was distilled back in 1982, just before Clynelish's sister distillery (the late lamented Brora) closed down and has been bottled by Douglas Laing as part of their Old Malt Cask range.
