G&M Private Collection Mortlach 1969
$12,000.00
Available by Request!
This 50 year old Morltach is from a First Fill Sherry Butt, filled on October 7, 1969, and bottled on October 10, 2019, at 50.7%. 91pts Whiskybase
G&M Private Collection Benromach 1982
$3,599.99
This 39 year old Private Collection Benromach, bottled just shy of 40 years, was matured 19 years in a Sherry Cask before finishing for a further 20 years in a Burgundy Hogshead. At 60.2%, it has held its strength too. A sister cask to this bottling, also finished in Burgundy, is rocking 91pts on Whiskybase.
Independent bottlings of Benromach are extremely rare, there have been less than a dozen in the last 20 years, and a good chunk of them were by the distillery's owner Gordon & MacPhail. So why bottle a bunch of 39 year old Burgundy finished Benromachs (there appear to be at least 3) under Gordon & MacPhail? I suspect it is because these whiskies fall outside of the style the distillery is going for, and they didn't want to confuse these with the recent 40 year old releases, which have a more traditional style.
Benromach Kiln Dried Oak 2012
$92.99
Part of the Contrasts range from Benromach Distillery, this bottling is one of a duo of limited editions focusing on two different ways of drying, or seasoning, the oak that is used to make the barrels. The Kiln-Dried Oak - Virgin Oak Cask Matured was distilled in 2012 and aged in oak barrels that were first air-dried for two years before then being kiln-dried to accelerate the process. The resulting whisky was bottled in 2023, after 10 years at 46%.
G&M CC Tomatin 1988
$1,149.99
This 1988 vintage Tomatin was bottled at 56.6% after maturing 32 years in a Refill American Oak Hogshead.
G&M Private Collection Glenburgie 1983
$2,349.99
At 38 years this is one of the oldest bottlings of Glenburgie we've ever seen. Distilled in 1983 and filled into a Refill American Oak Hogshead, the whisky has been bottled at 45.2%. I smell a future tasting coming!
G&M CC Benrinnes 2001 Cask 305592
$304.99

Is it a coincidence we bottled two Gordon & MacPhail Glentauchers casks in a year? Yes, but it shouldn't be all that surprising... seeing as they are bottling some of the best whisky from the distillery. This 2000 vintage was matured 23 years in a First Fill Sherry Hogshead. We were blown away by this old-school dumpy, sherried single malt... its' a very cool dram!

$249.99
This 2001 vintage Tomintoul was matured 21 years in a Refill American Oak Hogshead cask before bottling at 54.2% under the Connoisseurs Choice range.
