A Singular Blend
1963 Blended Scotch Whisky
The nose carries butterscotch sweetness with a hint of saddlery workshops before opening up on the palate to deliver a beautifully poised balance of sweet and sour with notes redolent of waxy fruit skin. A stunning, highly unusual release showcasing the remarkable complexity that can stem from a single distillery.
A Breath of Fresh Air
37 Year Old Blended Grain Scotch Whisky
The nose is wonderfully fresh, with notes of spearmint, pineapple, crushed mint and dock leaf instantly invigorating the senses. The palate follows through with further notes of fresh mint, a zingy fruit character and a mouth-watering dryness. An incredibly enlivening blend and true one-of-a-kind.
The Next Chapter
50 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky
Demonstrating layers of complexity and richness, on the nose, there is dense toffee sweetness punctuated by subtle floral notes shining through at the top. The palate is vibrant and lively with a creamy, rich mouthfeel and highlights of seville orange and marmalade leading to an exceptionally long-lasting, sweet citrus finish.
The Eight Grain
40 Year Old Blended Grain Scotch Whisky
Rich, compelling and multi-faceted, the nose of this mature Scotch whisky bursts with aromas of baked sugar, caramelised banana, banoffee pie with a pleasing background hint of wood shavings. The palate is rounded and balanced with the character of fleshy stone fruits shining through above the classically creamy, generous aged grain whisky character.
The Unknown
44 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky
The nose is rich with velvety sweetness and a hint of woody spice and treacle. The palate is indulgent with hard boiled sweets and demerara sugar, leading to a finish that is rich and incredibly long-lasting. A sublimely structured blend from start to finish – the perfect companion for a long, slow evening.
The Lowlander
36 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky
Wonderfully evocative notes of vintage cars, granite and meadow grass on the nose. The palate is initially sweet with a burst of spun sugar, fading to dry star fruit and ultimately leading towards a lingering, mouth-watering finish. An exceptional, unusual blend.
The Old Confectioner's
44 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Familiar sweet shop notes of liquorice and luscious candied fruit greet the nose. On the palate, initial caramelised notes lead into a darker treacle toffee and liquorice character. The finish is long and complex – moving slowly from sweet to dry with flashes of leather and oak recalling old wooden counter-tops.
A Trail of Smoke
42 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
The nose of this delicately peated island malt whisky is initially lightly sweet before a pleasingly dry, herbal aspect plays out alongside the signature woodsmoke. On the palate, the character opens up considerably to deliver compelling, luscious notes of tropical and charred fruit, with the peat character ever-present as a savoury backbone.
The First Drop
1964 Single Grain Scotch Whisky
Rich and bold with a hint of smoke, beeswax and ripe fruit on the nose. The palate is big, unctuous, decadent and sweet with layers of sweet toffee, followed by linseed oil and confectionery notes.
The Spirit of Scotland
46 Year Old Double Matured Blended Scotch Whisky
On the nose there is the warming character of syrup, treacle and baking aromas alongside antique notes of manuscript paper and old books. The palate brings a hint of smoke, bright flashes of lemon pie and a mouth-watering aspect with a long and wonderfully smooth finish.
Blended at Birth
1965 Blended Scotch Whisky
Rich notes of marzipan, Dundee cake and leather on the nose followed by pleasing tannin-rich herbal tea on the palate and a cool, minty aftertaste. This is not only one of the world’s first whiskies to be blended at birth, it is also likely to be one of the last, for such practices are now prohibited by the powers that be within Scotch.
Sunshine on Speyside
39 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Astonishingly bright on the nose with notes of fresh pineapple, barbecued fruit and a delicious Victorian sweet shop character. On the palate, the tropical theme continues with delicious charred fruit sweetness alongside a creamy caramelised barbecue smoke and bright zesty citrus. A true one-of-a-kind.
The Cask Trials

The Lost Estate

Creamy and rich on the nose with estery notes of pear drop and bright mandarin orange. On the palate there is sweetness, a wonderful depth and further hints of fruit alongside a crisp, clean barley sugar character.
The Long Marriage
56 Year Old Double Matured Blended Scotch Whisky
A wonderfully evocative oily nose redolent of candle wax, paraffin and Victorian stately homes, all underpinned by the generous decadence of old grain whisky. On the palate it is vibrant, spicy and mouth-coating with notes of cinnamon and a meandering sweet / dry finish.
