A 1983 vintage Glen Keith, distilled in the same year that they increased their production capabilities with a 6th still. Unfortunately the distillery was mothballed in 2000, but there is still hope it may one day rise again.
A frequently-overlooked bottle in Glenlivet's Cellar Collection, perhaps as it remains one of the youngest of the series (even at 20 years old). This is sterling stuff, nonetheless, described by Jim Murray as 'sophistication and attitude rolled into one'. With the finish adding nuance rather than dominating the palate, this is a minor classic of the genre.
The Glenfarclas Family Casks series is a new range of vintage casks from one of
Speyside's best distilleries. All but three of the range (1952, 1979 & 1984)
are from first fill or refill sherry casks.
A limited edition 1984 vintage release of Aultmore. This was one of the small number of cask strength bottlings that were included in the Flora & Fauna range.
A refill sherry PE from French independent bottler Jean Boyer. This is from a single cask bottled at cask strength for JB's modestly-titled 'Best Casks of Scotland' series.
A rare Port Ellen 1983, originally bottled for travel retail by Douglas Laing for their McGibbon's Provenance series. this is from a single refill butt and sounds very good from the bottler's tasting notes.
Just 60 bottles of this delicious sherried Port Ellen were released for The Whisky Exchange Whisky Show, and only a tiny handful have survived - MAXIMUM 1 BOTTLE PER CUSTOMER.
A cask strength bottling by Glenmorangie as part of their Manager's Choice range. 1983 vintage whisky specially selected by the distillery manager and released in a numbered bottle.
A special Private Vintage bottling of a 25 year-old single European oak sherry cask of Glenfiddich 1983, released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of luxury travel retail in Dubai.
