Talisker Select Reserve Game of Thrones / House Greyjoy

For a long time, Talisker was the sole distillery on Scotland’s iconic Isle of Skye. Renowned for the quality of its output, the distillery has rarely changed hands, joining DCL (now Diageo) back in 1916. Despite this, releases were not the most common. An 8 year old was bottled officially and Gordon & MacPhail produced what are now classic and sought after vintage bottlings under official license from the distillery. When a 10 year old expression became a founding pillar of United Distillers’ Classic Malts range in 1988, the popularity of the distillery exploded, and it is now one of the most revered and exported in Scotland.

The 2018 Diageo collaboration with HBO saw their Classic Malts range reimagined as being somehow related to the landed houses of the Game of Thrones television series.

Tobermory 10 Year Old pre-2007

The Isle of Mull's Tobermory distillery was first opened way back in 1798, and was known as Ledaig, which was the case for much of its history. It was dormant for the majority of the 20th century, shut down by DCL in 1930, and when it re-opened in 1972, it did so as again as Ledaig distillery. Its revival was only brief however, closing down in 1975. When the distillery was re-opened in 1979, it was now known as Tobermory. Its production in former years had generally been peated whisky, but the newly revived company began producing non-peated as well, for the provision of a blended malt which they marketed under the Tobermory name. Burn Stewart discontinued the blend when they took over in 1993, opting to continue the production of both styles as two distinct single malt brands. The un-peated single malt took over the Tobermory brand, while the traditional peated style fittingly retained the historic Ledaig name.

This is the Burn Stewart era Tobermory single malt, aged for 10 years and introduced in the late 1990s. Confusingly, the pre-Burn Stewart version of the Tobermory brand was a vatted malt produced using whisky distilled at Ledaig in the early 1970s, and younger malts from elsewhere. Both products used the same aesthetic until 2007.

Teaninich 10 Year Old Flora and Fauna

Following on from the successful introduction of the Classic Malts range in 1988 (at the time only six expressions), United Distillers sought to build on this by releasing a further 22 single malts in 1991. These became affectionately known as the Flora & Fauna series, a term coined by whisky writer, Michael Jackson, in reference to their labels. The range showcased the lesser-seen distilleries from the company’s extensive portfolio at the time, with the intent of using collective branding to help them raise each other’s profiles. Despite four further additions in 2001, only a handful of these are still permanent distillery bottlings, making it a highly collectible series.

Teaninich was built in the early 19th century and was eventually bought by blenders, Munro & Cameron, in 1895. Their trustees later sold the distillery to DCL in 1933, and it remains part of the Diageo operation to this day. The distillery's primary focus is on provision for the firms many blends, and this 10 year old Flora & Fauna is the only permanent distillery bottling, with just a handful of rare official releases appearing alongside it over the years.

Timorous Beastie 18 Year Old

Douglas Laing & Co was established in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing, affectionately known as “FDL.” The company started out as a blending business, but over time their focus shifted towards independently bottlings single malts. Fred died in 1982, leaving the business to his two sons, Stewart and Fred Jr, who eventually carved it up in 2013, with Stewart leaving to establish Hunter Laing. Fred Jr and his daughter Cara now run Douglas Laing, which continues to bottle single malt and has also revived its blending business. Additionally, the company has recently moved into distilling as well, announcing plans to construct the new Clutha distillery in Glasgow, and taking over Strathearn in Perthshire in 2019.

Timorous Beastie was the third addition to what became the Douglas Laing family of Remarkable Regional Malts, introduced in 2013 and produced using only Highland malt whiskies. The other family members include Big Peat, Scallywag, Rock Oyster and Epicurean blends produced using malts from Islay, Speyside, the Islands and the Lowlands, respectively.

This is a limited edition small-batch 18 year old.

Tyrconnell Single Malt 1 litre

Cooley distillery was opened in 1987 after it was converted from a pototo alcohol plant by John Teeling. It now operates two pot and three column stills, generally double distilling as opposed the more familiar triple distillation that most Irish producers favour. It was bought by Beam Inc. in 2011, with its former owners now operating the Teeling distillery in Dublin. Cooley's core range includes the Kilbeggan blends and a peated and unpeated single malt, called Connemara and Tyrconnell, respectively. In addition to this, they have a massive contract distilling operation, providing whisky to a number of independent labels like this. 

This is a pure pot still Irish single malt, distilled at Cooley distillery and bottled by Andrew A. Watt and Co under the old Tyrconnell distillery brand.

Tomintoul distillery was built in Speyside in 1965 by two whisky brokering companies. It was later acquired by the parent firm of Whyte & Mackay, and folded into their portfolio in 1973. While its main function was the provision of its blends, as with all of its distilleries, Whyte & Mackay also had faith in its appeal as a single malt. It was introduced in the iconic \"perfume bottles\" at the end of the 1970s. The single malt brand was given more of a focus when the distillery was bought by Angus Dundee in 2000, who also introduced a peated variant called Old Ballantruan in 2005. Bottles from independent labels have also been common over the years.

This Tomintoul was matured for 15 years, including a finish in a first-fill Calvados cask.

Tamdhu is a historic Speyside producer, and for many years was alone with Springbank and Glen Ord as being the only fully self-sufficient distilleries in Scotland. It was the first in Scotland to install Saladin boxes for malting and today it is the last distillery to still use them, which in its years being owned by Edrington, also supplied malt to Glenrothes and Highland Park. Traditionally, Tamdhu was mostly used in blends such as Cutty Sark and The Famous Grouse, but it has always been regarded as a great single malt, and new owners, Ian Macleod Distillers, are now focusing on this

This is the sixth release of Tamdhu's Batch Strength series, matured in Oloroso sherry wood and bottled at natural cask strength.

Torabhaig 2017 Inaugural Release / The Legacy Series

The idea for Torabhaig, a Gaelic-speaking distillery on the Isle of Skye was conceived by Sir Iain Noble. A fierce proponent of the Gaelic language, he was the co-founder of the Edinburgh merchant bank, and believed Gaelic was the key to unlock economic regeneration in the Highlands and Islands. He founded Praban na Linne (Gaelic Whisky Co) in 1976 and obtained planning permission to convert the 19th century farm steading at Torabhaig into a distillery around 2002. Sadly, he did not live to see the idea realised. However, around the time of his death, Mossburn Distillers were looking for a site on Skye to build their own distillery, which ended up with them picking up the Torabhaig torch in 2010. Works began on the conversion of the steading in 2013 and the first spirit flowed from its stills at the Isle of Skye's second distillery four years later. Its spirit is peated to 50ppm and 100% of its production is reserved for single malt.

This was the distillery's inaugural release, and the first instalment of The Legacy Series. Introduced at the beginning of 2021, the whisky was distilled in 2017 and matured in first-fill Bourbon barrels.

Tamnavulin distillery was opened in 1966 by Invergordon Distillers as a response to the increasing demands for their blends, and such provision has always been the distillery's focus. Despite this, Invergordon Distillers were always interested in bottling their single malts, and Tamnavulin was no different. They even boasted the legendary Moon Import are their Italian agents in the later 1980s. When Invergordon were bought over by Whyte & Mackay in 1995, the distillery was mothballed, but eventually re-opened in 2007, with a renewed focus on its single malt brand.

Tullamore Dew 12 Year Old Special Reserve 

Tullamore Dew sourced their whisky from Powers during the 1950s after the closure of Daly's distillery, with the Dublin distillers eventually buying the brand from them in the early 1960s. Powers then merged with Jameson and Cork Distillers to form Irish Distillers in 1966. The formation of the Irish Distillers group, was the beginning of a sea change in the landscape of Irish whiskey. Necessitated primarily by a need to capitalise on a much-expanded export market, the move also saw a change in the whiskey behind the brand names, favouring blended Irish whiskies over the traditional single pot still style. Irish Distillers pushed Jameson as the face of the company, but its historic Bow Street home had no column still to produce grain, meaning this component had to be produced at Power's John's Lane distillery. In order to streamline its operations, the company shut both distilleries down, building a bespoke new facility next-door to its Old Midleton distillery in Cork, which was shut down as well. Midleton opened in 1975 and was the only distillery in Ireland until Cooley was built in 1987. William Grant & Sons purcahsed Tullamore Dew in 2010.

This is the brand's core-range 12 year old expression.

Tullibardine 1993 Vintage

Tullibardine distillery in Perthshire was built in 1949 and was quickly acquired by blending firm, Brodie Hepburn. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the distillery came under ownership of Whyte & Mackay in 1993, who shut it down following year. In the preceding decades, its large production capacity had filled its even larger warehouses. In addition to selling the stock to third-party blenders, Whyte & Mackay used it for their own products, including some well-regarded official single malt releases. Greater emphasis was placed on this when it was sold to new owners in 2003, who re-casked much of the stock in order to launch this reinvigorated version of the Tullibardine brand.

This whisky was distilled in 1993 and bottled in 2005.

Works began on the conversion of the steading in 2013 and the first spirit flowed from its stills at the Isle of Skye's second distillery four years later. Its spirit is peated to 50ppm and 100% of its production is reserved for single malt.

This was the distillery's inaugural release, and the first instalment of The Legacy Series. Introduced at the beginning of 2021, the whisky was distilled in 2017 and matured in first-fill Bourbon barrels.

Tomintoul 8 Year Old Perfume Bottle 1980s

Tomintoul distillery was built in Speyside in 1965 by two whisky brokering companies. It was later acquired by the parent firm of Whyte & Mackay, and folded in to their portfolio in 1973. While its main function was the provision of its blends, as with all of its distilleries, Whyte & Mackay also had faith in its appeal as a single malt. It was introduced in the iconic \"perfume bottles\" at the end of the 1970s. The single malt brand was given more of a focus when the distillery was bought by Angus Dundee in 2000, who also introduced a peated variant called Old Ballantruan in 2005.

This is an early 1980s bottling of the core range 8 year old expression, which was also joined by a 12 year old. Both were eventually replaced by a new 10 and 16 year old by Angus Dundee in 2002.

Torabhaig 2017 Inaugural Release / The Legacy Series

The idea for Torabhaig, a Gaelic-speaking distillery on the Isle of Skye was conceived by Sir Iain Noble. A fierce proponent of the Gaelic language, he was the co-founder of the Edinburgh merchant bank, and believed Gaelic was the key to unlock economic regeneration in the Highlands and Islands. He founded Praban na Linne (Gaelic Whisky Co) in 1976 and obtained planning permission to convert the 19th century farm steading at Torabhaig into a distillery around 2002. Sadly, he did not live to see the idea realised. However, around the time of his death, Mossburn Distillers were looking for a site on Skye to build their own distillery, which ended up with them picking up the Torabhaig torch in 2010. Works began on the conversion of the steading in 2013 and the first spirit flowed from its stills at the Isle of Skye's second distillery four years later.
