We have a new collection of Small Batch Gold Label single cask offerings for you this month.
The small batch gold Label range will be a limited offering due to the smaller casks used to age this range or the amount those greedy old angels take as a share of the amber liquid, distribution is always a one off delivery so if you want one it’s best to get ordering soon.
First off we have a rather rare vintage from Glenlossie distillery, Aged a full 48 years in an ex bourbon cask distilled way back in 1966 only 168 bottles in the world from this cask so it’s first come first served on the last 3 bottles with one bottle per customer to make things a fair as possible.
Others to look out for in this range are Glen Keith 29 years old in refill bourbon cask only 108 bottles in the world, once again age has not diminished this great dram from the Glen Keith distillery and finally from this month’s rare vintages we have an amazingly rich Glenlivet 25 year old, while it’s a bourbon oak cask take a look at the tasting notes and see if like ourselves it reminds you of one of those Sherrywood tastings? Only 252 bottles world wide.
