This Valinch & Mallet bottling of Speyside Distillery Single Malt Scotch is 30 years old. It is part of what the indie bottler called the Lost Drams Collection, which features single casks that are between 20 and 30 Years Old. The Speyside bottle was distilled in 1991 and matured entirely in an ex-Sherry Hogshead. Bottled at a cask strength of 49.8%, the copper-looking label reads “30 yrs of Bad Reputation”, which refers to Valinch & Mallet co-founder Fabio Ermoli’s three decades in the wine and spirits business. I haven’t met the man yet, but after reading that I kind of want to.
From The Producer
"'Excuse me, which distillery is this from?' 'The Speyside Distillery' *wink*wink 'yes but which Speyside distillery? you can tell me, I won't tell!' 'The Speyside Distillery!' Cask #3 from the first year of distillation of the distillery makes this whisky even more special, we chose it to celebrate the first 30 years of activity of Fabio in the world of wine and spirits: "30 years of Bad Reputation"!"
