Whisky Sponge Ben Nevis 1996 Ed.58B
$624.99
The Whisky Sponge Label returns from the dead! Only to be unceremoniously killed off once more directly after this bottling. 55% ABV Ben Nevis from a 2nd fill sherry butt filled in 1996.
Producer Description
"After a very long gap, Whisky Sponge Edition No.58b is finally here. It's rather fitting that this will be the very last Sponge bottling we'll release. Forever. (Probably).
This is the second half of the same butt of Ben Nevis 1996 we bottled as Edition No. 58a, only this one has been finished in a 2nd fill sherry butt for just over two years. We bottled it with even slighter reduction this time, at 55%. It tastes like Optimus Prime after an intense workout while wearing a sheep wool cardigan in a cosmic potting shed."

The 5th and final release in the Mr. George Legacy Series by Gordon & MacPhail is a 1954 vintage matured for 70 years in a First Fill Sherry Puncheon before bottling at 50.5%.
Producer Description
"‘Mr George’ joined his father, John, at the family business almost a century ago and became a key advocate of single malt whisky at a time when most whisky went into blends. ‘The father of single malt’ as he’s been called, George Urquhart was a true pioneer and instrumental to the success and popularity of single malt whisky. The fifth and final edition in the Legacy – a Glen Grant from 1954 – exemplifies his philosophy and spirit.
"This fifth and final release in the ‘Mr George’ Legacy Series pays tribute to Mr George Urquhart’s unrelenting desire to create the perfect dram. Referred to by renowned whisky expert, Charlie MacLean as ‘the father of single malt’, ‘Mr George’ was fascinated by the interaction of spirit, cask and time. This exceptional single malt – limited to 130 bottles in celebration of our 130th anniversary – is a fitting tribute to a lifetime’s work which endures today at Gordon & MacPhail."
