Speyside

An old bottling of 8 year old Glendronach. This was produced at a time when the distillery was producing fantastic whiskies, if not quite the sherry monsters we see today.

A superpremium Glen Elgin 1998 bottled at full cask strength, this is part of Diageo's Managers' Choice series of single casks bottled in 2009.

An old bottling from Longmorn distillery. This whisky has been matured for 12 years and appears to have been bottled sometime towards to end of the 1970s.

This 25-year-old Aultmore is part of Dewar's The Last Great Malts range launched in 2014. Rich with both sweet and earthy notes, this is one to sip and savour.

A special bottling of Speyside Single Malt Whisky. This bottle was produced to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Forties Oil Field start up in September 1975. This whisky has been matured for 20 years and was released in 1995 to coincide with the anniversary.

Excellence is a 26 year old expression from Glenfiddich, aged exclusively in ex-bourbon casks sourced from the Kelvin Cooperage in Kentucky, which, like Glenfiddich, is independently owned by a Scottish family. Their first ongoing bourbon cask release, this is a fruit bomb of a whisky, with well-controlled spice from the long, American oak maturation.

A special edition of Glenfiddich released in 1987 to celebrate the distillery's centenary - the first run of spirit was on Christmas day 1887.

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.
