A superb (and hugely potent) expression of Benromach, this 19 year-old was distilled in 1978 and bottled around 1997 for the Rare Malts series. The distillery was mothballed at the time of this release but has since re-opened under new owners Gordon & MacPhail.
A 33 year old whisky from Bunnahabhain, distilled in December 1979 and bottled in December 2011 by Douglas Laing for their Platinum Selection range. It's a small outturn of 172 bottles, despite sitting in a sherry butt for its entire life.
A big cask strength Caol Ila released as part of Diageo's Rare Malts series. Distilled in 1978 and released at the turn of the millenium at a eye-watering 61.7% ABV.
A 1978 vintage Dalmore, matured for over 30 years and finished in sherry casks from Gonzalez Byass. It follows Dalmore's usual tradition of fancy packaging, with a solid box and invitation from Richard Paterson to register your bottle with the distillery.
A handsomely-presented 30yo from the revitalised-with-a-new-packaging-design Glen Garioch. We expect great things from this newly-overhauled distillery - it's great that they're finally getting a bit of marketing attention.
A 10 year old single malt from the rarely-seen Glen Mhor distillery, bottled for Italian bottlers Intertrade in the late 1980s by Gordon & Macphail at its full cask strength of 65.3%.
A 10 year old whisky from Glen Mhor bottled by Intertrade a few years after the distillery closed. This has a hefty ABV of 65.3%, making us wonder what strength it went into the cask...
A 1978 vintage whisky from increasingly well known east-coast highlander Glencadam. A single cask bottled at 30 years old and presented in a rather stylish decanter.
