Unique bottles that you won't find anywhere else. These are bottles for a special occasion or as an investment object. In any case: these are bottles of exceptional value in every respect!
This 8-year-old, sherry-matured Aberlour—bottled for the Italian market in the early 1970s—is an 'unblended all-malt Scotch whisky,' or what we nowadays call single malt whisky. It is an excellent dram, judging by its score of nearly 89 points. (50% ABV)
'Rare Ayrshire' says the label, and that is absolutely correct! It is a bottling of single malt whisky from the long-closed Ladyburn Distillery in Ayrshire, Scotland. The spirit went into the cask in 1974 to emerge 36 years later as single malt! (46%)
This is truly an 'old school' whisky: the spirit for this Irish single malt whisky from the Bow Street/John Jameson Distillery went into the cask in 1963. In 1991, 27 years later, Cadenhead bottled it at an astonishingly strong 68.2%. (score: 92.68)
In 2011, bottler The Whisky Talker released this truly special Bunnahabhain single malt in its Mo Òr Collection. The spirit for this whisky flowed out of the still in 1968, into a sherry cask, and was bottled as whisky from it 42 years later! (46%)
Bottler Signatory Vintage once released bottlings in 350 ml bottles with screw caps. Here is one: a Caol Ila single malt whisky distilled in 1982, which then matured in a bourbon cask for 13 years before being bottled at 43%. And now it is a rarity.
We have some fine Caperdonich bottlings and this one from Duncan Taylor from 2010 is definitely one of them! The Speyside single malt whisky, vintage year 1972, matured no less than 38 years in a bourbon cask. A classic fruit bomb bottled at 51.8%.
The Bottlers, a very high-scoring bottler, hardly release any bottlings anymore (the last one in 2015, as far as we know), but in 2004, they released this 27-year-old single malt whisky from the Caperdonich Distillery that closed in 2002. (54.3%)
This Glen Garioch bottling from the renowned Italian bottler Samaroli scores over 93 points! Distilled in 1975, this Highland single malt whisky was bottled 15 years later at 57.0%. A classic, top-notch dram: complex, balanced, and delicious!
After 2011, virtually no more bottlings were released by the Dutch bottler The Whisky Talker. This Glen Moray was released in 2010 in the Mo Òr Collection. The Speyside single malt matured for 21 years in a bourbon cask. Creamy, fruity, and chocolate. 46%
With this Glenlivet we have something special in our shop. It went into the cask in 1952 and was bottled by the Swiss Lateltin after an unknown period. The bottle has a screw cap, and whatever the label says, it's a single malt whisky!
A special Diageo Special Release from 2007: a 36 year old Glenury Royal (vintage 1970). The distillery closed in 1986. Relatively few, but very good scoring bottlings of this single malt whisky have been released. At an amazing 57,9%, bottle 774
The Imperial Distillery, built in Speyside in 1897, closed a century later, in 1998. Of course, independent bottlings of the single malt whisky have continued to appear since then, but fewer and fewer. This one is from 2013. (17y, bourbon matured, 51.2%)
About ten years ago, Whisky-Doris released this 26-year-old, sherry-aged Irish single malt whisky in the Nose Art series. It was a bullseye once again! The whisky scored high immediately and now stands at nearly 91 points. (45.6% ABV)
The longer the distillery was closed, the fewer Littlemill bottlings hit the market. We now have a bottle of a Malts of Scotland bottling from 2010. With its 20 years of aging in a bourbon cask, it is really something for the Littlemill enthusiast! 53.9%
Malts of Scotland bottled this highly regarded Littlemill single malt in 2015 specifically for a German flying club. The whisky from the Lowland distillery, which closed in 1996, matured for about 25 years in a bourbon cask and was bottled at 50.2% ABV.
Bottler Cadenhead released this Littlemill bottling in 2019, in a limited edition of 270 bottles, after the Lowland single malt had matured for 27 years in a bourbon hogshead. It is bottled at 49.8% and scores almost 89 points on Whiskybase.
For those looking for a classic, old school sherried whisky, this is a bottle to think about. It is a Macallan single malt whisky that came out quite a while ago already, after having matured for 12 years in carefully selected sherry casks. (40%).
Now here is a true collector's item! We have a Macallan single malt whisky here that was distilled in 1940 and—after 40 years of maturation— was bottled in 1981 for the Italian market, featuring a 'handwritten' label and a red ribbon draped across it. 43%
A small bottle with truly exceptional contents: 50 ml of a Macallan single malt whisky distilled in 1948! We do not know its maturation period or the type of cask used for this Speyside whisky, but one thing is certain: it is a unique gem! (46.6%)
This Macallan single malt was distilled in 1963 and bottled for the Italian market some 17 years later, in 1980. Although the label doesn't state it, we can assume it is a sherry-matured whisky. A refined and creamy dram. (43% ABV; Whiskybase score: 92,3)
Back in the last century—unlike in much of the rest of the world—there was already significant interest in Italy in exceptional single malts; take, for instance, this 25-year-old, sherried Macallan Pure Highland Malt. A true 'old school' classic! (43%)
You can also come across 'old school' whisky in the single grain sector. That is certainly the case with this North British. After 25 years in bourbon casks, it was bottled in 1990 by Signatory Vintage, in their early days, in those dumpy bottles. (46%)
Well, what more is there to say... a 37-year-old (!) Port Ellen single malt whisky, distilled in 1978 and bottled in 2016 at 55.2% cask strength. On Whiskybase, this legendary malt scores well over 92 points. A perfect peated dram and collector's item.
