A rare old distillery bottling of Aultmore 12 year old, we believe this to be from the 1980s.

A litre bottle of the older presentation of the now-defunct Aberlour 100 proof malt whisky, bottled at a punchy 57.1%.

This 1992 vintage Benrinnes, bottled at 21 years of age as part of Diageo's Special Releases 2014 is a big sherry-monster. Aged in sherry wood, this is a real meaty whisky – one for those who like their whiskies big and bold.

Released to celebrate the distillery's centenary, this 17 year old Benromach spent its final two years in sherry casks dating from 1886, 1895 and 1901 before bottling in 1998 by Gordon & Macphail, who had recently taken over and re-invigorated the distillery after a fifteen year distilling hiatus.

Benrinnes is another Diageo distillery of which very little is seen. Most of the malt produced at Benrinnes is used as blend fodder, so it's great to see a debut single cask bottling to sit alongside the Flora & Fauna version and 2009's acclaimed Special Release 23yo.

An old bottling of Dufftown-Glenlivet, bottled at 12 years of age in the 1980s. This would have been distilled in the 1970s, a decade which saw the distillery double in size from four stills to eight.

An early example of double-matured whisky, this was predominantly aged initially in bourbon casks before being finished in sherry casks. We don’t know the exact length of the finishing period, but the whisky is approximately 12 years old.

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