Craigellachie 21 Year Old The Chess Malt Collection Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 52.3%

Item no.: 059766-7419

Thirty-two bottles, thirty-two pieces. The Chess Malt Collection is built as a chess set where each distillery is assigned a role — and Craigellachie is not a pawn.
Expert description
Craigellachie 21 years The Chess Malt Collection is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 52.3%.
The whisky was distilled in 1995 and bottled in 2017. The collection consists of 32 unique single cask releases, each bottle representing a chess piece: two kings, two queens, four bishops, four knights, four rooks and sixteen pawns, split between black and white. Craigellachie condenses in worm tubs and makes a heavy, meaty spirit, which after twenty-one years in a sherry cask has gained both depth and a dark fruit sweetness without losing its mineral edge.
Tasting notes
Nose
Rich and inviting. Raisins, dark dried fruits, chocolate and spiced Christmas cake.
Palate
Powerful and complex, with layers of caramel, orange peel, nuts and dark chocolate, underpinned by tobacco notes and spiced oak.
Finish
Long and persistent with bittersweet fruit, chocolate and a touch of white pepper.

Did you know?
The chess pieces in the collection are not assigned at random. The rarer and older the whisky, the higher the rank it receives — so a king or queen in the series is at the same time a signal of what is in the bottle.

Crown Royal Barley Edition Blended Canadian Whisky 70 cl 45%

Item no.: 22227865368-20156

Barley's sweetness takes centre stage in this entry in Crown Royal's prestigious Noble Collection.
Expert description
Crown Royal Barley Edition Noble Collection Blended Canadian Whisky is part of the brand's prestigious Noble Collection, where barley plays a prominent role in the blend, bottled at 45%. Crown Royal was created in 1939 by spirits magnate Samuel Bronfman to celebrate King George VI and Queen Elizabeth's royal visit to Canada — the first visit by reigning monarchs in the country's history. According to legend, Bronfman tested over 600 different blends before arriving at the final recipe, presented to the royal couple in a decanter wrapped in a purple velvet bag with gold embroidery. The whisky is produced today at the distillery in Gimli, Manitoba, on the shore of Lake Winnipeg, where about 80% of the grain comes from the local region, and the water is naturally filtered through limestone.
Tasting notes
Nose
The nose offers malt, honey and lightly toasted grain.
Palate
The palate is soft and full with malt, caramel and a hint of fruit.
Finish
The finish is medium-length, soft and lightly sweet.

Daftmill 2005 Inaugural Release 12 Year Old Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 55.8%

Item no.: 22280-6710

Francis Cuthbert built a distillery in a farm building in 2005 and then waited twelve years before selling a single bottle. This is the first one. There is no earlier.
Expert description
Daftmill 2005 Inaugural Release 12 years is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in three first fill ex-bourbon barrels and bottled at cask strength of 55.8%.
The release gave 629 bottles and marks the beginning of Daftmill as a whisky distillery. The farm sits near Cupar in Fife, where brothers Francis and Ian Cuthbert grow their own barley and distil only in the periods when the fieldwork allows it — summer and winter. With an annual production of around 20,000 litres, Daftmill is among Scotland's smallest distilleries, and waiting twelve years for a first release is close to unheard of in the trade.
Tasting notes
Nose
Fresh and fruit-driven. Orchard apple and pear, with tropical notes of pineapple and mango behind.
Palate
Lively and precise. Orchard fruit, honey and pale malt, with a gentle spiced note from the oak rounding it off. The cask strength carries the fruit without drowning it.
Finish
Long and clean, with apple, cereal and a mild oak warmth.

High. The very first bottle from a distillery that has since become one of the most sought after in Scotland, in an outturn of 629 bottles. An inaugural release cannot by definition be repeated.
Did you know?
Daftmill distils only when farming leaves room for it. The plant runs in summer after sowing and in winter after harvest — the rest of the year the Cuthbert brothers are farmers. That is why production stays at around 20,000 litres a year.

Daftmill 2006/2018 Winter Batch Release Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46%

Item no.: 22280-6709

They only distil when the fields can spare the people. The winter batch comes after harvest, when the grain is in and there is time to fire up — and it tastes different from the summer one.
Expert description
Daftmill 2006/2018 Winter Batch Release is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in five first fill ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 46%.
The whisky was distilled on 16 December 2006 and bottled twelve years later in 2018, in an outturn of 1,265 bottles. Daftmill splits its releases into summer and winter batches because the distillery only runs in the periods when the farm work allows. Winter spirit is generally reckoned to be slightly fuller than summer spirit, because cooler water and lower temperatures change the way the spirit condenses.
Tasting notes
Nose
Warm and baked. Rhubarb compote, honey, citrus and pancakes with maple syrup. After a while in the glass, fresh pears and crisp apples appear.
Palate
Round and silky with shades of vanilla, almond and citrus, accompanied by a lightly waxy texture.
Finish
Long and spiced with hints of nutmeg, wood and sweet stone fruit.

Did you know?
The difference between summer and winter batches is not marketing. Water temperature in the condensers changes with the season, which affects how much copper contact the spirit gets — enough that a winter distillate tastes different from a summer one made in the same plant.

Dailuaine 1997/2022 Signatory 24 year old Single Speyside Malt Whisky 47,4%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280002

Distilled on the same day as its four-year-younger sister, but these casks were left standing. Four extra years in hogsheads sounds like little — in the glass the difference is obvious.
Expert description
Dailuaine 1997/2022 Signatory 24 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in two hogsheads and bottled at 47.4% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
The casks are numbered 7227 and 7235, were filled on 21 May 1997 and emptied on 20 January 2022. The outturn was 369 bottles. The release belongs to Signatory's Cask Strength Collection, where the whisky goes into bottle at the strength the cask delivers. Dailuaine is one of those distilleries where almost the entire production disappears into blends, and twenty-four year old bottlings exist essentially only through independent bottlers.
Tasting notes
Nose
Ripe apples, pears and quince, with vanilla, malt and a mild spiced oak behind.
Palate
Silky with well-integrated alcohol. Sweetness and freshness first, then vanilla, malt and spiced oak, in a balanced and elegant mouthfeel.
Finish
Dry and harmonious, with the complexity and maturity stepping forward at the close.

Did you know?
Quince is a fruit you rarely meet in modern whisky, but it turns up in old Speyside malts from bourbon wood. It sits somewhere between apple and pear, and it is often a sign of a cask that has been allowed to work long and quietly.

Dallas Dhu 12 år Gordon & MacPhail Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 40%

Item no.: B22227865438-64

Dallas Dhu stopped production in 1983 and was never demolished. The distillery stands today as a museum with all the equipment in place — but without a drop of new spirit since the Thatcher years.
Expert description
Dallas Dhu 12 years Gordon & MacPhail is a Highland Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 40%.
The distillery sits near Forres and closed in 1983 during the great wave of closures, when overproduction brought a string of Scottish houses to their knees. The buildings were preserved and are run today as a museum, which makes Dallas Dhu one of the few places you can walk through a complete distillery that no longer produces. Gordon & MacPhail in Elgin has bottled whisky from across Scotland since 1895 and is among the most important sources of bottles from closed distilleries.
Tasting notes
Nose
Soft and malty. Honey, dried apple and cereal, with a dusty note from the years in glass.
Palate
Round and light. Malt, honey and pale caramel, with a touch of spice and a mild oak note. The 40% keeps it easy to approach.
Finish
Medium and dry, with malt, nuts and a faint herbal warmth.

Dalmore 14 Years Old MacKarl 1896–1904 – Limited Edition Single Malt Whisky 46%

Item no.: 22227865471-305-MK

A Danish retailer series named after the mayors of Ringsted does not sound like where you find an independent Dalmore. That is nonetheless exactly what is in the bottle.
Expert description
Dalmore 14 years MacKarl 1896–1904 Limited Edition is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in an American hogshead and bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
The whisky was distilled in 2001 and bottled in 2015 for Skjold Burne in Ringsted as part of the Ringsted Whisky series, where each edition is dedicated to a former mayor of the town. This one carries the name MacKarl after Karl Kristian Ludvig Jürgens, mayor from 1896 to 1904. Dalmore on the Cromarty Firth releases almost exclusively official bottlings, so independent bottles from the distillery are rare — and a Danish retailer bottling rarer still.
Tasting notes
Nose
Ripe fruit and honey first, then vanilla, malt and a warm spiced note from the American oak.
Palate
Soft and round. Orange, honey and caramel, with malt and a layer of spice. The 46% gives good weight without turning sharp.
Finish
Medium and warm, with vanilla, oak and a mild spiced sweetness.

Dalmore's twelve-point royal stag comes from Clan Mackenzie. The story goes that the clan founder saved King Alexander III from a charging stag, and in return was permitted to carry the animal on his coat of arms. The distillery has used it ever since.

Dalmore 1990/2008 Signatory Vintage 17 years old Sherry Butt Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 59,2%

Item no.: 505956-689457-8

Dalmore from an independent bottler is a rare sight. Dalmore from 1990 in a single sherry butt at full cask strength is close to an anomaly.
Expert description
Dalmore 1990/2008 Signatory Vintage 17 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 59.2% without added colouring.
The cask carries the number 9411, was filled on 11 September 1990 and emptied on 25 March 2008. The outturn was 501 bottles. Dalmore sits at Alness on the shore of the Cromarty Firth and is known for its heavy, sherried house style — which is exactly why a single sherry cask suits the spirit so well. The distillery lets very few casks go on to independent bottlers, making this release unusual.
Tasting notes
Nose
Deep and dark. Raisin, orange peel and dark chocolate, with walnut, leather and a warm spiced note from the wood.
Palate
Massive and concentrated. Dried fruit, cocoa and caramelised sugar, with a peppery warmth from the strength and a dry sherry edge keeping the sweetness in check.
Finish
Very long and dry, with nuts, dark fruit and a persistent spiced warmth.

Dalmore's motto Luceo non uro means shine, not burn. It comes from the Clan Mackenzie coat of arms and has followed the distillery since the family took it over in the nineteenth century — even after the whisky had long since changed owners.

Dalmore 2023 Edition 18 years old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 43%

Item no.: 2227865479-110999

González Byass in Jerez has casks that have held Matusalem oloroso for thirty years. Dalmore gets to borrow them — and that arrangement is what the entire house style rests on.
Expert description
Dalmore 2023 Edition 18 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American white oak and 30 year old Matusalem oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 43%.
The distillery sits at Alness on the shore of the Cromarty Firth and has since 1839 worked in a heavy, sherried style. The partnership with the sherry house González Byass gives Dalmore access to oloroso casks that held wine for three decades, and it is those that give the 18 year old its depth. This release is the 2023 version of the standing 18 year old, which is adjusted from year to year.
Tasting notes
Nose
Deep and inviting. Orange peel, raisin and dark chocolate, with cinnamon, roasted nuts and a warm note of old oak.
Palate
Full and silky. Dried fruit, caramel and marzipan, with spice from the sherry cask and a malted core underneath. The 43% carries the sweetness without making it sticky.

Dalmore Castle Leod 1995 Vintage Lands of Clan Mackenzie Single Highland Malt Whisky 46%

Castle Leod still stands at Strathpeffer and is still the Mackenzie clan home. Dalmore has carried the clan stag on its label for nearly two centuries — here the castle gets a bottle of its own.
Expert description
Dalmore Castle Leod 1995 Vintage is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American white oak and Spanish sherry oak with a final finish in 1er Cru Classé Bordeaux casks and bottled at 46%.
The whisky was distilled in 1995 and bottled in 2011 in an outturn of 5,000 bottles. It belongs to the Lands of Clan Mackenzie series, where each release is tied to a place in the clan's history. Castle Leod at Strathpeffer is the clan seat and lies a few kilometres from the distillery. The Bordeaux finish is unusual for Dalmore and lays a dry fruit acidity over the usual house sherry sweetness.
Tasting notes
Nose
Rich and inviting. Dark fruits, orange peel, honey and caramel, accompanied by warm spices, chocolate and a touch of roasted nuts.

Dalmore Cigar Malt 2. Edition Single Highland Malt Whisky 44%

Item no.: 22227865461-2

There are not many whiskies built to be drunk alongside something else. Cigar Malt is one of them — made to hold its ground against the smoke of a cigar.
Expert description
Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 44%.
The whisky is assembled from selected casks aged roughly ten to fifteen years and is deliberately bottled a little stronger than the rest of the house range. The point is that it should stand up to the weight of tobacco without disappearing. This release is Version No. 2 of Cigar Malt, which Dalmore revived after a pause. The distillery at Alness has worked with sherry casks since the nineteenth century, and it is that same dark, concentrated style underneath.
Tasting notes
Nose
Powerful and dark. Raisin, orange marmalade and dark chocolate, with cinnamon, clove and a warm note of tobacco and leather.
Palate
Full and dense. Dried fruit, caramel and spice, with an oily texture and a dry oak edge. The 44% gives extra weight compared with the house 40% releases.

Dalmore Cromartie 1996 Vintage Lands of Clan Mackenzie Single Highland Malt Whisky 45%

Item no.: 22461-25563

Cromartie is the name of the earldom the Mackenzie clan received from the crown. Third bottle in the series, third place on the map — and the whisky gets darker with each release.
Expert description
Dalmore Cromartie 1996 Vintage is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American white oak with a final maturation in oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 45%.
The whisky was distilled in 1996 and is the third release in the Clan Mackenzie Series, where the clan's twelve-point stag appears on every bottle. The combination of American oak first and oloroso at the end is the classic house recipe, and the 45% gives more weight than most of Dalmore's standing releases. The series is limited and ties each bottling to a place or title in the clan's history.
Tasting notes
Nose
Rich and inviting. Dried fruits, orange peel, dark chocolate and caramel, accompanied by warm spices and a touch of roasted nuts.

Dalmore King Alexander III Single Highland Malt Whisky 40%

Item no.: 22227865461-203

Six cask types in one bottle. Not because it reads well on a label, but because Dalmore wanted to see how many layers you can put into a whisky before it falls apart.
Expert description
Dalmore King Alexander III is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in six different cask types and bottled at 40%.
The whisky brings together components from bourbon casks, oloroso sherry casks, Madeira casks, Marsala casks, port pipes and Cabernet Sauvignon casks. When it appeared it was the first single malt built on that many different cask types. The name refers to King Alexander III, who according to legend was saved from a charging stag by an ancestor of Clan Mackenzie — and in gratitude granted the clan the right to carry the animal on its arms. It is the same stag that appears on every Dalmore bottle today.
Tasting notes
Nose
Layered and sweet. Red fruit, orange and vanilla first, then raisin, marzipan and a warm spiced note from the port and Madeira.
Palate
Soft and round. Passion fruit, citrus and caramel meet dried fruit, chocolate and spice, while the many cask types settle in layers rather than colliding.
Finish
Long and soft, with fruit, spice and a lightly dry oak note.

Did you know?
Marrying six cask types sounds simple but requires each component to mature separately and only be brought together at the end. The distilling team at Dalmore therefore has to hit the balance in six directions at once — and do it again on the next batch.

Deanston 17 år Old Version Single Highland Malt Whisky 40%

Item no.: 22227865461-61

Seventeen years is an awkward number for a whisky. It was chosen because the casks were ready — not because anyone thought it looked good on a label.
Expert description
Deanston 17 years Old Version is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 40%.
The release predates Deanston moving its core range to 46.3% without chill filtration and without added colouring. Seventeen years in cask is uncommon even today, and when this was bottled it was among the house's oldest releases. Deanston has distilled since the mid-1960s in a converted cotton mill by the River Teith, and the long maturations show a different side from the core range.
Tasting notes
Nose
Mature and restrained. Honey, dried apple and malt, with vanilla, nuts and a dusty note from the years in glass.

Soft and round. Malt, honey and candied fruit, with a warm spiced middle. At 40% it is light, but the seventeen years have given a depth the strength cannot hide.
Finish
Medium and dry, with nuts, malt and a mild oak warmth.

High. The release is discontinued, and Deanston has not had a standing 17 year old in the range since. Older releases from the house keep getting harder to find.
Did you know?
Deanston is one of the few Scottish distilleries that uses no peat at all. All the malt is unpeated, and the smoke simply does not exist in the house — which is why long maturation here is about fruit and nuts rather than burning off smoke.

Deanston 18 year old Batch 3 Old Version Single Highland Malt Whisky 46,3%

Item no.: 222331-2055

Third batch of the 18 year old, bottled before Deanston changed the packaging. Same whisky, different wardrobe — and that is exactly the kind of detail collectors watch.
Expert description
Deanston 18 years Batch 3 Old Version is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in American bourbon casks and bottled at 46.3% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
The long maturation in American oak gives the whisky natural colour, rich texture and a balanced sweetness. Deanston uses Scottish barley, long fermentation and classic pot stills, and the house has occupied a converted cotton mill by the River Teith since 1966. Batch 3 is a limited release from before the current bottle design, which makes it easy to tell apart from today's 18 year old.
Tasting notes
Nose
Honey from wildflowers, creamy vanilla and floral notes, followed by citrus and mild spice.
Palate
Sweetness and warmth in interplay. Barley sugar, lemon confection, ginger cake and deep Manuka honey, with a rich, waxy texture.
Finish
Long and dry with clear ginger, light oak and a soft honeyed warmth.

Batch numbers are the whisky world's answer to edition numbers. Even when the recipe is the same, the casks vary from batch to batch — so batch 3 does not necessarily taste like batch 6, however alike the labels look.

Deanston 18 year old Single Highland Malt Whisky 46,3%

Item no.: 22227865461-205

Rich local barley, canny local knowledge, soft water from the River Teith and first fill bourbon casks. And then time. A great deal of time.
Expert description
Deanston 18 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in first fill bourbon casks and bottled at 46.3% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
First fill casks are the ones taking Scotch for the first time after bourbon. The wood is still active and gives vanilla, coconut and a clear sweetness — over eighteen years that becomes a deep, honeyed character without the oak taking over. It is the house signature, sweet honeyed fruit with a long swell, pushed as far as it goes. Deanston has distilled in a converted cotton mill at Doune since 1966.
Tasting notes
Nose
Deep honey and ripe fruit. Baked apple, vanilla and coconut, with a light floral note and malted cereal underneath.
Palate
Full and creamy. Honey, vanilla fudge and ripe fruit, with spice from the oak and a waxy mouthfeel that the absence of filtration preserves.
Finish
Long and warm, with honey, malt and a soft oak spice fading slowly.

A bourbon cask may only be used once in the United States. That is why thousands of used casks sail to Scotland every year to begin a second — and often third and fourth — life. Without that American rule, Scotch whisky would look completely different.

Deanston 2008/2022 Signatory Vintage 13 years old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 66.8%

Item no.: 22227865391-8846-0522

Sixty-six point eight percent after thirteen years. The cask has barely given up any alcohol along the way — and there is a very concrete reason for that.
Expert description
Deanston 2008/2022 Signatory Vintage 13 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a first fill sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 66.8% without chill filtration and without added colouring.
The cask is numbered 900076, was filled on 13 August 2008 and emptied on 11 March 2022 with an outturn of 574 bottles. The release belongs to Signatory's Cask Strength Collection. A strength that high after thirteen years means the cask lost more water than alcohol — which happens in dry, airy warehouses rather than in damp earth-floored cellars.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dense and dark. Raisin, date and orange marmalade, with dark chocolate, nuts and a warm spiced note.
Palate
Fierce but well balanced. Dried fruit, cocoa and burnt sugar, with a dry sherry edge and a peppery warmth. Deanston's honey sits underneath and keeps the sweetness natural.
Finish
Very long, dry and spiced, with dark fruit, nuts and a slowly fading warmth.

Did you know?
Whether a whisky rises or falls in strength during maturation depends on the humidity in the warehouse. Where it is dry, water evaporates fastest and the strength climbs. Where it is damp, the alcohol goes first — which is why two casks filled the same day can end up in very different places.

Deanston That Boutique-Y Whisky Company 20 year old Single Highland Malt Whisky 49,1%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280146

Twenty year old Deanston is not something the distillery sells itself. That Boutique-Y Whisky Company found the casks, drew a story on the label and put it in a half bottle.
Expert description
Deanston That Boutique-Y Whisky Company 20 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 49.1% in a 50 cl bottle.
This is the house's batch 7 from Deanston and gave 450 bottles. That Boutique-Y Whisky Company was founded in 2012 by Ben Ellefsen and is known for its hand-drawn labels, where every bottle gets its own illustration. Deanston itself rarely releases whisky over eighteen years, and twenty years in cask shows a side of the house the core range never reaches.
Tasting notes
Nose
Marmalade first, developing into barley, vanilla, caramel, milk chocolate and a little coconut.
Palate
Fresh notes of ripe plums combined with mint leaves, with honey and malt underneath. The 49.1% gives good weight without drowning the finer notes.

Long and soft, with caramel, malt and a mild spiced warmth.

Destilleriet Als FIRST RELEASE Danish Single Malt Whisky ca. 58%

Item no.: 22227865401-Alsny

The island of Als does not have many distilleries. In fact, there is only one — Destilleriet Als. And this is their first bottle. FIRST RELEASE at 58% is a debut expression in the most literal sense: the first whisky to leave the distillery on Als.
Expert description
Destilleriet Als FIRST RELEASE is a Danish Single Malt Whisky at 58%, bottled at 50 cl as the first expression from Destilleriet Als. The distillery is located on the island of Als in southern Jutland and produces Single Malt Whisky from Danish barley. A first release from a new micro-distillery is always an event — it marks the beginning of a production and gives whisky enthusiasts the opportunity to follow the distillery's development from its very first casks.
Tasting notes
Nose
Fresh and direct with young malt and oak. Sweetness from the casks and a light spirity undertone that opens with water.
Palate
Powerful at 58%. Sweet malt and oak with light spice. A young character that bodes well for future expressions from the distillery.
Finish
Warm and lingering. Oak and sweet malt hold on.

Deveronside 2007/2023 Maggies Collection 16 years old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 49.8%

Item no.: 059763-615-686

A mermaid swims across the label. That is no accident. The bottle was drawn for Denmark, and The Highlander Inn in Craigellachie let Hans Christian Andersen have the final word on how a Danish exclusive should look.
The expert description
Deveronside 2007/2023 Maggies Collection 16 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky from MacDuff, matured in a hogshead and bottled at 49.8%.
MacDuff stands near Banff on the north coast, where the river Deveron meets the Moray Firth. The distillery started in 1962, and the name Deveronside appears whenever independent bottlers release MacDuff casks under something other than the distillery name. This cask, number 800219, was filled in 2007 and bottled in 2023 after sixteen years in a single hogshead. It gave 224 bottles.
Maggies Collection is The Highlander Inn’s own series, named after Maggie Riegler, a local artist from Craigellachie. She drew the labels for the inn’s bottlings until 2012 and died in 2018, but her hand still marks the range. This release is bottled without chill filtration and without added colour.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dried apricot and orange marmalade, honey on warm bread, and behind it a faint waxy note like old furniture polish.
Palate
Powerful without being harsh. Malt and pale caramel first, then baked apple, cinnamon and a nutty middle drawn out of the active hogshead.
Finish
Long and dry with pepper, orange peel and a last touch of salted caramel.

Douglas Laing 70th Anniversary 20 Year Old Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 52%

Item no.: 22337555-79632

Some whiskies you can simply go out and buy. Others required you to be standing in a particular room on a particular evening. Douglas Laing turned 70 in 2018, and for the celebration a single sherry butt was emptied. Seventy bottles. Every one of them signed by hand.
The Expert's Description
Douglas Laing 70th Anniversary 20 Years Old is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a single Sherry Butt and bottled at 52%. It was created for the importers and staff who attended the company’s 70th anniversary celebration, never reached a retail shelf, and that alone explains a great deal about how few exist.
The Speyside distillery behind the whisky is undisclosed. That is standard practice when Douglas Laing bottles single casks sourced from distilleries that will not lend their name, and it is why the label reads Single Speyside Malt rather than a distillery name. The style, however, is unmistakable. Twenty years in Spanish sherry oak has pushed dark fruit and depth into the spirit without flattening Speyside's brighter malt sweetness. The cask yielded 70 bottles, hand filled and numbered, each label carrying the signatures of both Fred and Cara Laing.
Douglas Laing has been bottling whisky since 1948 and the firm remains in the family's hands. The 70th Anniversary was their own birthday present to themselves, and one of the rarest pieces of whisky history the family has ever released.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dark ripe fruit leads: prunes, figs and long-steeped raisins. Behind that sit honey, orange peel and a dry nuttiness from the sherry oak. Give the glass fifteen minutes and vanilla arrives, along with a whisper of old leather.
Palate
Full and close to oily. Caramel and baked apple meet cinnamon and a touch of clove, with oak tannin keeping the sweetness on a short leash. The 52% reads as warmth rather than heat. A few drops of water do not break it apart, they round it out.
Finish
Long and dry. Dark chocolate, pipe tobacco and a nutty bitterness that hangs around well after the last sip. Right at the end the honey comes back.

Did You Know?
Douglas Laing was founded in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing. That year Scotch was still rationed after the war, and most of the whisky bottled in Scotland was shipped abroad to earn foreign currency for the British Treasury. The firm was born into a market where whisky was treated almost as a trading commodity, on a par with coal.

Dumbarton 1987/2003 Cadenheads 15 years old Authentic Collection Single Lowland Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58,1%

Item no.: 505956-807534-717

Dumbarton 1987/2003 Cadenhead's Authentic Collection 15 Years Single Lowland Malt Scotch Whisky

A red‑brick giant at the meeting of the Leven and Clyde, once home to whisky on a scale few distilleries could match — and guarded by a flock of Chinese geese. That’s the origin of this dram: a rarity from a place that no longer exists.

This is a bottle for the collector who chases the lost. Dumbarton was primarily a massive grain distillery, built in 1938 by Hiram Walker to supply the Ballantine’s blend. But inside the same complex stood a small malt distillery called Inverleven, and it is that malt spirit you find in this bottle. Cadenhead’s — Scotland’s oldest independent bottler, founded in 1842 — chose to label it “Dumbarton” rather than Inverleven, something worth knowing if you search for it in databases or at auction.

It was distilled in 1987 and bottled in March 2003 after 15 years in a single bourbon hogshead. Only 294 bottles came from the cask. The whisky is part of Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection — their series of single‑cask releases, un‑chillfiltered, natural colour, and bottled at full cask strength. This is whisky in its most unfiltered form, and at 58.1% it makes itself known. The Inverleven stills fell silent forever in 1991, and the Dumbarton complex closed in 2002 before being demolished. The stills were moved to Islay, where they now serve Bruichladdich and The Botanist gin. There will be no more whisky like this.

A classic Lowlander in character — light, fresh and grassy rather than heavy or smoky.

Nose: Grassy and fresh, like sitting by a roadside ditch on a summer day. Plenty of citrus and bright fruit.
Palate: Dry and spicy with the warmth of full cask strength. A sweet core beneath the sharpness, with grain and pale fruit.
Finish: Medium length, clean and citrus‑driven. The warmth fades slowly.

Smoky: no · Fruity · Citrus · Grassy · Spicy · Cask Strength

Investment potential: Medium. A closed and demolished distillery, single cask, only 294 bottles, and a respected bottler — all factors that push value upward. But Inverleven/Dumbarton does not have the same cult following as the big names, so price growth is driven more by rarity than hype. A bottle that typically trades above its original retail price, but without dramatic spikes.

Did you know? Dumbarton had its own security force: around 100 Chinese geese, introduced in 1959 to guard the warehouses. They became so famous they appeared in Ballantine’s adverts. When the distillery closed, the last seven geese were retired and sent to Glasgow Green.

Dumbarton 2000/2021 Coopers Choice 20 years old Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky 70 cl 56.5%

Item no.: 059763-615-591

Dumbarton no longer exists. The great red brick complex on the river Clyde was pulled down, and all that remains are the casks that made it out in time. This is one of them.
The expert description
Dumbarton 2000/2021 Coopers Choice 20 Years Old is a Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky matured in a bourbon cask and bottled at cask strength 56.5%.
Hiram Walker built Dumbarton in 1938 as one of the largest grain distilleries in Scotland, and for decades it supplied the backbone of the Ballantine’s blends. Production stopped in 2002, the buildings came down, and the site has since become housing. That turns any bottling carrying the Dumbarton name into a time capsule, because no more is coming.
This cask, number 211097, was filled in November 2000 and bottled in 2021 after twenty years. The Coopers Choice is The Vintage Malt Whisky Company’s range of single cask bottlings, and as usual they have neither chill filtered nor coloured it. The cask gave 234 bottles.
Tasting notes
Nose
Coconut and vanilla pod settle first, then buttery pastry, ripe banana and a faint note of sawdust off the active bourbon wood.
Palate
Sweet and oily in spite of the high strength. Caramel, corn sweetness and creme brulee, with a growing spice of nutmeg and white pepper.
Finish
Long and warm. Toffee, toasted oak and a dry, almost powdery close that is typical of well-aged grain whisky.

Dumbarton 23 Years Old Dram Mor Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky 57,1%

Item no.: 222278653434-88

Twenty-three years is a long time for a grain whisky. Long enough that the cereal stops tasting of cereal and starts tasting of a bakery, and just short enough that the cask has not taken over.
The expert description
Dumbarton 23 Years Old Dram Mor is a Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky matured in a refill bourbon barrel and bottled at cask strength 57.1%.
Dumbarton on the river Clyde closed in 2002 and was later demolished. The distillery supplied grain whisky to some of the largest blends in Scotland, and only rarely did any of it appear in its own right. With every year that passes, the remaining casks grow fewer.
Dram Mor selected cask number 211885, a refill bourbon barrel that still stood at 57.1% after twenty-three years. The whisky is bottled without chill filtration and without added colour, and the cask gave 182 bottles. The name Dram Mor means big dram in Gaelic.
Tasting notes
Nose
Creamy vanilla with a hint of cherry tart and sweet, buttery shortcrust pastry.
Palate
Sweet and buttery with a surprisingly three-dimensional depth for a single grain. Delicate spices tie it together and keep the sweetness in place.
Finish
Warming and more robust than you might expect, in the best possible way, closing with oak and dried fruit.

Medium. Dumbarton is closed and demolished, the bottling comes from one cask, and only 182 bottles exist. Old grain whisky from silent Lowland distilleries has drawn considerably more collector attention in recent years than it did a decade ago.
Did you know?
Grain whisky matures more slowly than malt because the spirit is cleaner and carries fewer heavy compounds for the wood to work on. That is why an age statement like twenty-three years is unremarkable here, while the same years on a malt would often leave the cask in charge.

The expert's description
Edradour 10 years old Old Version is a Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 43%.
This release represents Edradour's classic, earlier label for the 10-year-old bottling — a simple, honest introduction to the distillery's light, floral and lightly sherried style. Without experimental casks or special finishes, the whisky shows what Edradour is at its core, when it sticks to what the distillery has always done best.

Edradour 1999 Vintage Barolo Cask Finish 21 year old Single Highland Malt Whisky 54,8%

Item no.: 222288877-88874

1999 was a year when Edradour distilled whisky that, 21 years later, would meet Italian Barolo wine — the result is a discontinued rarity many collectors seek out.
The expert's description
Edradour 1999 Vintage Barolo Cask Finish 21 years old is a Single Highland Malt Whisky finished in Barolo casks and bottled at 54.8%.
The whisky was distilled on 9 August 1999 and, after a long primary maturation, received a finishing period in casks that previously held Barolo, a powerful Italian red wine from Piedmont made from Nebbiolo grapes. The whisky was bottled on 21 October 2020 after 21 years of total maturation and is today a discontinued vintage release.
Tasting notes
Nose
Dried cherries and rose petals, with a tannic undercurrent of tar and a hint of fresh malt.
Palate
Dark berries and a lightly bitter tannic grip, where the malt keeps a soft, honeyed base beneath the wine's intensity.
Finish
Long with dry tannins, black pepper and a finish of dark cherries and leather.

This release is assessed to have high investment potential, largely due to the 1999 vintage, 21 years of maturation and a rare Barolo cask finish from a discontinued bottling. This is a general assessment based on available information about rarity and demand, not a guarantee of future value growth.
Did you know?
Barolo is often called 'the king of wines' in Italy because of its power and ageing potential — qualities that make the cask particularly well suited to finishing older, already complex whiskies like this one.

Edradour 1999 Vintage Bordeaux Cask Finish 21 years Single Highland Malt Whisky 55,7%

Item no.: 222333669-9652

Same vintage, same age — but a completely different wine world. Where its sister bottle got Barolo, this 1999 distillate instead met Bordeaux.
The expert's description
Edradour 1999 Vintage Bordeaux Cask Finish 21 years old is a Single Highland Malt Whisky finished in Bordeaux casks and bottled at 55.7%.
The whisky was distilled on 12 October 1999 and, after its primary maturation, received a finishing period in casks that previously held Bordeaux red wine. The whisky was bottled on 21 October 2020 after 21 years of total maturation and, like its Barolo sibling, is a discontinued vintage release.
Tasting notes
Nose
Blackcurrant and cassis, with a lightly cedary undercurrent and a hint of tobacco.
Palate
Dark berries and plum, where the Bordeaux cask's tannins meet Edradour's soft, honeyed malt.
Finish
Long with dry tannin, cedar and a finish of dark chocolate.

Did you know?
Bordeaux casks are used more rarely for whisky finishing than sherry and port, because French wine casks are traditionally sold on for other purposes rather than ending up with Scottish distilleries — making this cask type a genuine rarity in Scotch whisky.

Edradour 2001/2023 Oloroso Sherry Butt 21 years old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 52.1%

Item no.: 059763-615-160

There's a quiet confidence to a whisky that's been allowed to rest for 21 years in a single sherry cask. No rush, no shortcuts — just time and good wood.
The expert's description
Edradour 2001/2023 Oloroso Sherry Butt 21 years old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill ex-bourbon hogshead and Oloroso sherry butt and bottled at 52.1%.
The whisky was distilled in 2001 and matured for 21 years, split across cask no. 2413, 2414 and 2504, before being bottled in July 2023. The Oloroso sherry has given the whisky a deep, reddish-brown colour and a rich, nutty sweetness that balances Edradour's light, unpeated character. With 1,919 bottles, this is one of the rarer releases from the distillery's core range.
Tasting notes
Nose
Raisins, walnut and a hint of orange peel sit over a soft malt aroma, with a deep, sherry-dark sweetness underneath.
Palate
Rich and rounded with dried apricot, dark chocolate and a lightly spiced oak. The sherry gives the whisky body without ever drowning out the malt's character.
Finish
Long and warm with lingering notes of dark caramel, walnut shell and a dry, elegant finish.

Edradour 2003/2024 Bourbon Barrel 21 Years Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 54.3%

Item no.: 059763-615-160-1

Some of Edradour's finest moments come when the distillery keeps it simple: good grain, good casks and plenty of time. This 21-year-old bourbon cask maturation is one of them.
The expert's description
Edradour 2003/2024 Bourbon Barrel 21 years old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon barrels and bottled at 54.3%.
The whisky was distilled in 2003 and matured for 21 years across seven selected bourbon casks, numbers 67 to 73, before being bottled in 2024. The long maturation in American oak has given the whisky a warm, vanilla-led sweetness, while Edradour's light, floral core character is preserved throughout. 1,126 bottles were drawn from this maturation.
Tasting notes
Nose
Vanilla, honey and ripe pears, with a lightly nutty undercurrent and a hint of fresh oak.
Palate
Soft and rounded with caramel, toasted almonds and a fine acidity from tropical fruit that keeps the palate fresh despite the age.
Finish
Medium length with lingering vanilla, lightly spiced oak and a dry, elegant finish.
