Old & Rare

A 29 year old whisky from Brora, bottled by Douglas Laing for the Old Malt Cask range. Distilled in February 1971 and bottled in April 2000.

Ever a complex and joyful dram, this 25-year-old expression from Highland Park is truly a cut above. Time spent in first-fill sherry oak contributes to a remarkable flavour profile – think thick, full fruit coupled with cinder toffee and vanilla fudge, accompanied by light oak and honey high notes and woven through with the thin tendrils of flavoursome peat smoke we know and expect from Highland Park. A beautiful drink.

The famous Ardbeg 'Manager's Choice' bottling is a single sherry cask from 1976 selected by Stuart Thomson for sale at the distillery in 1999. An enormous hit at the time, this was one of the key early single cask bottlings that kickstarted Ardbeg's stratospheric rise.

A special bottling of 1972 vintage Glendronach, released at 27 years of age to coincide with the millennium, and bottled for The Incorporation of Maltmen in Glasgow. Judging by the colour, this spent its maturation period in an active sherry cask.

An old bottling of Glenfarclas 15 year old. We estimate this was bottled in the 1970s, a decade which saw a great deal of change at the distillery. The on-site floor maltings were decommissioned, a visitors centre was opened and the number of stills were increased from four to six.

Distilled in 1963 at Glenmorangie distillery, this hard-to-find 23-year-old single malt was matured in oak casks for 22 years and finished for another year in oloroso sherry casks, before being bottled in 1987.

A single cask Springbank distilled in 1966. From the very rare Local Barley full-strength series of bottlings this was aged in a sherry cask for 24 years.

A bottle of Havana Club's light-dry 3 year old rum. Still made in Cuba, this is a brand you won't see in America for obvious reasons. We estimate this bottle dates from the 1970s.

A 21 year old bottling of Glenfiddich, one of the bestselling Scotch single malts worldwide, presented in a beautiful Wedgwood decanter.
