Secret Stills No 1.2 (Talisker) 1986
70cl / 45%
Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Gordon & Macphail
|
£292 each
including shipping

Another 'secret' release from a distillery on Skye, ho-hum, who on earth could that be?! Glorious colour from 21 years in first fill sherry butts - if you want one of these you'll need to be quick as it's unlikely to be hanging around. |

Imperial 1982 / 27 Year Old / Cask #3973
70cl / 58.3%
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Signatory
|
£298 each
including shipping
|
A Signatory bottling of the rarely-seen Imperial single malt from 1982. The distillery is currently mothballed, but was taken over by Chivas Bros in 2005. Chivas owners Pernod Ricard have been reviving distilleries of late, so there's hope yet for Imperial, which has had a troubled history, but has produced some very good, even great, malt whisky in the past. |

Distillery Bottling

Awaited with feverish anticipation, this 18 year-old Springbank is finally here, and it's a treat. Muscular and assertive, with a big sherry presence (80% of the casks used were ex-sherry) and a noticeable waft of smoke. |

Always good to see a bottle of Glen Mhor, which was little-known in its lifetime and is now demolished, with the site now occupied by a supermarket. This 1982 vintage is from Douglas Laing for the Old Malt Cask series. |
