Flora and Fauna Complete Collection - 26 Bottles

The Flora and Fauna series of whiskies was originally created in the early 1990s by United Distillers Vintners (what would later become Diageo).  Originally this range had no name and it was not until the famous whisky writer Michael Jackson nicknamed it the 'Flora and Fauna' series due to the labels, did it stick.  The Flora and Fauna series, as offered in this lot, contains a total of 26 distillery expressions. Not all of these were released at the same time and many have now been discontinued, the last of which  was to be the Mortlach 16 year old, perhaps the most loved of all of these whiskies.

Speyburn 12 Year Old Flora and Fauna

The mythical 12 year old Flora and Fauna release by Speyburn, perhaps even more mythical as this particular bottle is presented with the wooden box packaging.

Distillers Company Ltd (DCL/Diageo) created the Flora and Fauna series in the early 1990s, when DCL sold the distillery to Inver House distillers this bottle was discontinued, quickly making it the rarest of the Flora and Fauna bottlings.

Please note the cap has some minor marks from contact with the wood.
