G&M Connoisseurs Choice Glencadam 1991
$889.99

G&M CC Glentauchers 1990
$1,249.99
Part of a trio of 31 year old, heavily sherried, Gordon & MacPhail bottlings from the Chivas Distilleries at the heart of the Ballentine's Blend.

G&M Private Collection Tomintoul 1972
$3,199.99
This 1972 vintage Tomintoul has been bottled under the Private Collection range by Gordon & MacPhail, at 43%, after maturing 48 years in a Refill Hogshead Cask. This is a curious malt, by all accounts, with the exception of a 50 year old Samaroli bottling, it is the oldest Tomintoul ever bottled!
G&M Private Collection Dallas Dhu 1981
$2,799.99
No one other than Gordon & MacPhail has bottled a Dallas Dhu since 2014, and even then they have been few and far between. Bottled at 60.1% after 38 years in a Refill American Hogshead cask. Only 3 bottles are coming to KWM! Look at the abv... 60.1% after 38 years... mic drop! 91.5pts Whiskybase
G&M Private Collection Lochside 1981
$6,499.99
Distilled from unicorn tears, angel sweat, and hen's teeth, Lochside is as scarce as it gets in the whisky world. The distillery was shuttered in 1992, having only produced for about 35 years. These occasional releases are like the last fading echoes of what once was. We're not far from a point in time when Lochside will be nothing more than a footnote. This is liquid history. There were only 141 bottles from Refill Sherry Hogshead #802.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 49.2%.

G&M Private Collection St Magdalene 1982
$4,199.99
We love the lost distilleries. Any chance to try whiskies from silent stills nowadays is an occasion to drop everything and clear the calendar. Especially nowadays, when every drop is, give or take, 40 years old. They're never cheap (those days are long gone), but unforgettable experiences rarely are anymore.
In one of the more interesting bits of whisky lore (alongside tales of the wartime bombings and fires at the lost Banff distillery, the flintlock pistols that George Smith used to carry 'round Glenlivet, the early 20th century p*ssing contest between Laphroaig and Lagavulin, and the ever elusive promise of extant drops of Malt Mill), the St. Magdalene distillery (also known as Linlithgow) was actually built on the site of a former leper colony. So, if you're picking up on any meaty notes...
Kidding. (I hope)
This is a trophy bottling, for sure, and incredibly scarce. Refill American Hogshead #2094 gave up only 165 bottles.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 54.8%
G&M Connoisseurs Choice Teaninich 2009
$149.99
