Coleburn, 1964, 46.9% Single Malt (Speyside)
Exclusive Limited Edition of 108 Bottles |
| Appearance & Nose Mid gold in colour, this malt is highly aromatic on the nose with lots of malt and an aroma of caramelised or stewed apples. The nose flattens a little when water is added, but a note of licorice emerges. |
| Palate & Finish On the palate this whisky is very long, chewy and warming. Only very light peat shows through, together with a minty or slightly peppery note. The aftertaste is very long, with a persisting easy sweetness . |
Remarks A lovely bottling from an often under-rated distillery.  |
| Panelists Peter Wood; Ralph Katzenel; Ian Baker |
|
A Speyside, 61.3% Single Malt
Exclusive Limited Edition of 48 Bottles |
| Appearance & Nose A glorious deep reddish brown in colour, this malt has a lovely cognacy nose. It's rich, dark and fruity, with a distinctly plummy, stewed fruit note. |
| Palate & Finish On the palate it's incredibly smooth and, amazingly for a malt bottled at 61.3%, can even be drunk without water! There is an explosion of warmth as it enters the mouth, and a medium sweet taste of toffee caramel. The finish is clean, long and pleasant, with the characteristic slightly sulphury note of spent matches that always comes from sherry wood maturation. |
| Remarks An excellent example of the heights that can be reached when the make from a top-class distillery spends so long in a really good sherry cask. Truly perfection in it's class. |
| Panelists Peter Wood; Ralph Katzenel; Ian Baker |

Banff Cask 3113, 41.5% Single Malt (Speyside)
Exclusive Limited Edition of 66 Bottles |
| Appearance & Nose Medium-gold in colour. This has great finesse on both nose and palate. It has a very complex, rounded full nose of Seville dried oranges, fondants, marinated fruits and mixed peel. |
| Palate & Finish On the palate there is a lovely supple, almost ethereal, texture with the spicy, orange-fruits character coming out. The balance is exquisite with a refreshing acidity that makes this Banff wonderfully drinkable. |
| Remarks It is strongly recommended that this whisky is best drunk undiluted as it's natural cask strength when bottled was only 41.5% ABV. Drinking it this way brings out the full complexity, flavour and refinement of this whisky. A rare and refined bottling from a distillery which was closed and dismantled in 1983. |

Aberfeldy 1975 Cask 3947, 55.4% Single Malt (Highland)
Exclusive Limited Edition of 120 Bottles |
| Appearance & Nose Medium-yellow gold in colour. The nose is toffee sweet with some hints of iodine (seaweed) and peat, while the alchohol comes through with an estery (fresh, salty & herby) and slightly bitter note. |
| Palate & Finish On the palate there are all the classic Aberfeldy hallmarks - light peat and a distinct licorice note. The finish is gentle, smooth, and clean with a slight bitter element. A warming, mid-weight whisky of some complexity and character. |
| Remarks Aberfeldy is the signature component malt of the very successful (mainly USA) Dewars blend. |
| Source Taken from Raeburn Fine Wines notes and panelists Peter Wood, Ralph Katzenel & Ian Baker |
|
Highland Park 1974, Cask 8995, 52.6% Single Malt (Island - Orkney)
Exclusive Limited Edition of 228 Bottles |
| Appearance & Nose Deep amber-chestnut; Rich and malty with an intriguing oily mustiness. The scent of the orange grove surfaces best when diluted (pw). Reddish Oak; Winey, perfumy, fragrantly smoky (mj). |
| Palate & Finish A spoonful of honey to start with, then a rich slightly pungent dryness takes over with subdued notes of tobacco and peat on the back of the palate. As with the nose, citric tendencies come through best on dilution. Finish - Medium length, soft and fragrant with some sweet nuts, a touch of tobacco smoke and cedarwood pencils (pw). Smooth tightly combined flavours. Dried fruits. Soft liquorice. Cigar-like tobacco. Smokey, sappy oak. Scores points for robustness. Finish - Huge, sweet smokiness (mj). |
| Remarks A whisky born to greatness and now at the peak of its powers. Combines haughty richness, hints of smoke and orange, with remarkable zest and vigour (adapted from pw). |
| Source Peter Wood (pre-bottling at 53.1abv); Michael Jackson (score 93) at bottled strength 52.6 |

Historic Macallan Vintages Single Malt (Speydside)
Very Limited Stocks of Distillery and Gordon & McPhail bottlings from the 30's to the 60's |
| scotchwhisky.com We have access to very rare and limited stocks of historic Macallan bottlings. These whiskies, while highly collectible, are also strongly recommended for drinking. They represent Macallans from the past; probably, from both a quality and historic perspective, the most respected malt whisky of the 20th Century. |
| Taste These early Macallans are an exceptional opportunity to experience the style of this malt distilled in the pre-war and war time era. The stocks available also span the years after the war when the kilns employed coal and peat producing a more phenolic style than that of the more recent, but equally excellent, Macallans. |
| Bottle Appearance & Background The independant Elgin bottlers, Gordon & McPhail, enjoyed an exclusive position as regular bottlers of Macallan in the middle and earlier years of the century. Labelled as 'Macallan-Glenlivet' these Macallans all bear an age statement - unusually expressions of 36 Years Old and 37 Years Old appeared to be favoured over the now more customary 25 Year Old variant. From between the years 1947 and 1958 we have expressions bottled by the distillery, in some cases 25 Year Olds, in other cases carrying no official age statement but likely to be of the usual very high quality. These non age statement Macallans no doubt reflect the difficult stock issues because of war time disruptions. |
| Vintages available 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1947, 1950, 1952, 1955, 1956, 1958, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1966, 1971, 1974. |
