Highland Park 50 Year Old

One of the most talked about releases of recent years, this 50 year old is the oldest whisky bottled by Highland Park.

This incredibly rare bottling of Highland Park was bottled from a combination of five refill casks from 1960.  The casks were married together to 'harmonise' their flavours before being bottled, a process Highland Park calls 'cask harmonisation'.

The bottle has been designed by New York based Jeweller Maeve Gillies who grew up in Edinburgh.  The bottle which is created from hand-crafted sterling silver is inspired by the forces of nature and in particular the sea, using her jewellery making expertise the bottle features a metallic 'net' design, a piece of Orkney sandstone carved with the Highland Park logo and a hidden silver replica of the Rose Window from St Magnus Cathedral.  

One of only 275 bottles produced.

Outer packaging is included.

Macallan Sir Peter Blake

This stunning presentation art piece from Macallan is in celebration of Sir Peter Blakes eight decades. This art work and selection of whiskies was released to coincide with Sir Peter Blake's 80th birthday.

Sir Peter Blake has worked with Macallan on numerous projects, including designing the label for the highly collectable Macallan 1926, back in 1986.  He worked alongside designer David Holmes on their earliest advertising campaign, and was the creative mind behind the William and Kate Royal Marriage and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee bottlings.

This art piece follows Sir Peter's designs for eight labels representing each of his eight decades.  Working with a team of highly skilled specialists – a fine cabinet maker, a typographer, a writer and art director he inspired and chose several artefacts and backdrops for the art piece to create a true celebration of his life and the Macallan.

The presentation piece consists of a stunning oak box which opens into a display divided into eight sections representing eight decades.  Each section includes one or more artefacts relevant to the decade and a miniature distilled in that decade baring the label designed by Sir Peter.

Further items to note are a book of illustrations, and text about Sir Peter Blake’s life, and the Macallan which is printed on Japanese paper.

Their are eight miniatures in total and they cover every decade from 1930 to 2000. Many (not all) of these vintages are chosen from single malts taken from the Fine & Rare collection through the decades including the oldest from 1937, to the youngest at 2002.  

The artefacts chosen represent the four elements of water, fire, air and earth as a direct connection to our whisky making process.

Please note damage to the Gnome character in the bottom left section of the piece, as shown in the final image.

Hanyu 1988 Full Proof 'Caber Tossing' Single Cask #9204 (Bottle No.1)  Including Picture

Single cask Hanyu with an interesting tale to tell. This is bottle number one... of 204, however this cask was bottled in two halfs. So the total bottle number was 408, there is no batch number so the only way to tell the difference between the first and second batch, is the misspelling of \"Puncheon\" on the label. As this is the first bottle of the first batch it has the spelling error.
