Distilled February 3rd, 1940, at the Glenlivet Distillery, the whisky was filled into a First Fill Sherry Butt, and matured 80 years before botlling on February 5, 2020, at 44.9%. It isn't inexpensive, but it is stunning, and beautifully presented! 93pts Angus @ Whisky Fun!
We launched exclusively in Canada, a sister cask, the Gordon & MacPhail Generations Glenlivet 70 Year around a decade ago. Details on our archive!
Producer Description: "On 3rd February 1940 in a quiet corner in the north of Scotland, George Urquhart and his father, John, had the extraordinary foresight and vision to lay down spirit from Glenlivet Distillery in a bespoke Gordon & MacPhail cask to be enjoyed by future generations.
"On 5th February 2020, leaning on the unique skill and experience acquired by over more than 125 years, the decision was taken to finally bottle the cask’s precious out-turn of 250 decanters."

$3,799.99
This 1991 vintage Rosebank has been bottled as a part of the Recollection Series 3 at 51.2% after 32 years in a First Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel.
Producer Description
"The history of Rosebank Distillery has been directly linked with the Forth & Clyde canal which sits in its shadow. The waterway linked Scotland’s west and east coasts, and therefore its two main cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh. A distillery called Rosebank was operating as early as 1817. From 1840, under the ownership of the Rankine family, Rosebank prospered. The canal, however, became neglected and the distillery eventually closed its doors in 1993. It was reopened under new ownership to great fanfare in 2024. This release, a lost work of art, is one of the oldest and rarest Rosebank single malts ever released."

About Milton Courtesy G&M
"Gordon & MacPhail’s history with Strathisla goes back to the early 1900’s when owners John Urquhart and then his son, George, forged an enduring relationship with the Speyside distillery.
"Strathisla’s own history can be recorded as far back as 1786, where it began its life as the brewery of a local monastery. It is the oldest working distillery in the Scottish Highlands and was o riginally known as Milton Distillery. Its whisky spirit was long known as Strathisla after the river which it sits beside but th e distillery was only officially renamed Strathisla in 1951.
"This spirit for this ultra rare release was distilled on what is now known as Strathisla Distillery in Keith. A thorough investigation in consultation with Chivas revealed that the official distillery name in 1949 was in fact Milton changed to Strathisla in 1951. So to accurately reflect its true provenance, the release is being brought to market under its original name: Gordon & MacPhail 1949 from Milton Distillery.
"This unique release will never be repeated it represents a unique opportunity for drinkers and collectors to own a Milton single malt from the 1940s from the last cask in existence from Gordon & MacPhail’s revered warehouse in Elgin."
Stuart Urquhart, Operations Director and fourth generation member of the owning family, on the Milton 1949
"Milton, or Strathisla as it is now known, has small copper stills with a distinctive shape that helps to give the spirit its character. The spirit style is rich, fruity and full bodied, therefore we have selected our own first fill Sherry puncheon, made to our exacting specifications, in which to mature this whisky.
"My grandfather, George, laid down the rich and robust spirit in 1949 and he knew from experience that it would be perfect for longer term maturation. We have carefully matured this cask for 72 years, assessing its progress down the decades. We now feel the whisky is finally ready certainly the oldest Milton ever bottled and one that will never be seen again."
G&M Private Collection Glen Mhor 1982
$4,199.99
One of the lost Speyside triplets (alongside Glen Albyn and Millburn), Glen Mhor may be most recognized for being one of the component malts used to recreate the Mackinlay's Rare Old Highland Malt (you know... the Shackleton recreation from a few years back). It is a distillery that has never had the romantic draw that other lost gems like Brora, Port Ellen, or Rosebank have, but we are now 40 years past the last spirit run at Glen Mhor and the very little we ever see is now always extravantly priced and packaged. And a bottling such as this one is exactly the reason why. 93 points on Whiskyfun (one of only two or three sources we trust almost implicitly) should tell you all you need to know. With an endorsement like that, there should be a bloodbath for the few bottles we're getting. Refill Sherry Hogshead #72 yielded only 174 bottles.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 50.8%
