A limited release from Benromach distillery, this 35-year-old whisky was distilled in the early 1980s and aged in first-fill sherry casks. Released in two tranches during 2016, this has notes of honey, chocolate, menthol and clove.

A 2014 addition to The Balvenie range – Single Barrel, Traditional Oak. Each bottle is part of a batch of only a few hundred, each filled from a single cask. Every batch will vary a little, but all will show off the great combination of subtle spice and honeyed sweetness.

This is the 2010 version of Ardbeg Supernova, and no doubt will be hoping to follow on from the success of last year's edition, which scooped Scotch Whisky of the Year from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2010.

A 1970s bottle of Balvenie 8 year old, with a rather grand black leather label on its very Glenfiddich-esque bottle.

An old bottling of 21 year old Bruichladdich. From the style of packaging we estimate this dates from the late 1980s or early 1990s.

A rare old late 1980s Connoisseurs Choice bottling of 1973 Ledaig, from when Tobermory's peaty spirit was highly sought-after.

An old bottling of 1976 vintage Tomatin from independent bottler Cadenhead's Distilled in October, it was aged for 13 years before being bottled in September 1990 at 60.5%.

A fantastic vintage from Benromach and owners Gordon & Macphail. It's well known that G&M have some of the best casks in the industry and this is further evidence - a fruity and fresh tasting whisky with enough elegant oak influence to let you know that you're drinking something special.

A very rare No-Age-Statment Balblair bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1970s. The neck label states "VH Small Still".
