Glenfarclas 1953
This Highland Single Malt is 1 of only 93 bottles drawn from the oldest cask owned by the family-run Glenfarclas distillery, having been distilled in 1953 and matured in a single Spanish oak sherry cask. Presented non chill-filtered and at a natural cask strength of 43.9% abv. The nose offers rich sherry, developing into lovely toffee notes and delicate oak. The palate is warm and spicy with stewed fruits and liquorice aspects, while the finish is incredibly long with toffee apples and cinnamon sticks.
Littlemill 25 Year Old
Hailing from the now lost Littlemill distillery on the banks of the River Clyde, this 25 year old Lowlands Single Malt is 1 of only 1500 bottles born from a selection of 10 casks from 1989 and 1990. Hand-picked by Master Blenders, John Peterson and Michael Henry, these represent the quality and style of the distillery which closed in 1994. The liquid has been drawn from American and European oak casks and married together and finished in first fill European Oloroso sherry casks. Unusually for a Lowland malt, the Littlemill distillery used a highland water source as well as peat from Stornoway and Perthshire. Known for its subtle floral, vanilla-rich sweetness, this incredibly rare liquid comes in a beautiful presentation case with a miniature taster and a piece of the cask used for maturation!
