A Signatory bottling of vintage single grain whisky from Lothian Distiller's Edinburgh-based North British distillery. This should be very interesting, and it's certainly great value.
A 1997 vintage bottling from Gordon & Macphail, as part of the Connoisseurs Choice series, of whisky from seldom seen Glendullan. This was matured in refill sherry casks, so expect a bit of fruit.
A 1997 vintage whisky from Inchgower, seldom seen as a single malt due to the vast majority of its production going into the Bell's family of blended whiskies. This was bottled by Gordon & Macphail under their Connoisseurs Choice label.
A 14 year old release of 1997 Cragganmore by Signatory as part of the Un-Chillfiltered range. It's also naturally coloured and the only real inteference on the way from cask to bottle is the lowering of the strength to 46%.
A 1997 vintage whisky from the folks at Signatory, released as part of their Un-Chillfiltered Collection. Distilled at Cragganmore in 1997 and bottled from two casks 14 years later in late 2011.
A 14 year old whisky from Clynelish, bottled by the folks at Signatory as part of the Un-Chillfiltered collection. Distilled in April 1997 and bottled from a pair of hogsheads in January 2012.
Long known to blenders as a category 'A' malt, Balblair is a terrific malt whisky worthy of far greater exposure than it has previously enjoyed. Relaunched in 2007 as a series of vintage expressions, and repositioned as a premium product, this unsung hero is now finally getting the attention and respect it deserves. This is a young Highland malt from the top drawer.
A cask strength release of 1997 vintage Longmorn bottled by distillery owners Chivas Brothers as one of their Cask Strength Editions. 14 years old and at a natural strength of 59.6%.
