Mortlach 1995 Carn Mor 18 Year Old

Mortlach was founded in 1823 and was the first of Dufftown's \"Seven Stills\" to be licensed. It rose to pre-eminence under George Cowie & Son, who's unique distillation regime produced a famously \"meaty\" whisky, which was highly prized by blenders. It was for this reason that it was acquired by John Walker & Sons, and so important to them was it that little stock was left available for bottling as a single malt. The Flora & Fauna release was the first official distillery bottling, but it was not until 2014 that Mortlach was bottled under its own fully fledged single malt brand. Thankfully, there have been many spectacular releases from independent labels like this over the years.

This whisky was distilled in 1995 and matured in two Hogshead casks for 18 years. One of 693 bottles.

This is a Strictly Limited bottling, a small batch and single cask sub-category of Morrison & Mackay's Carn Mor label. Morrison & Mackay are a Perth-based company, producing a number of whisky liqueurs as well as independent single malts and blends, including the popular recently revived Old Perth. In 2017 the firm completed the construction of the Aberargie distillery in the town of the same name.

The latest in the Macallan royal bottlings, this release from June 2013 consists of two 35cl bottles with a box designed by David Holmes. One bottle depicts the queen from 1953, matured solely in American oak sherry seasoned casks, while the other matured in Spanish sherry seasoned casks.   Only 1,953 boxes were produced to convey the date of the coronation in 1953.

Only available on Macallan’s website or at the distillery this quickly became one of the fastest selling releases of 2013. 

Bottled at 55.7% (1953 image)

Bottled at 58.1% (2013 image)

The Gran Reserva Macallan’s were release between 1997 and 2002. Distilled in 1979 and bottled in 1997, this 18 year old whisky is widely regarded as one of the most famous Macallan’s ever bottled. 

One of the rare releases from the Flora and Fauna series, Royal Brackla 10 year old. 

A extremely limited bottle of 10 year old Macallan bottled at cask strength to commemorate the 10^th Anniversary of the Whisky Magazine.  Not many of these Macallan’s are around and are infrequent visitors to auctions, only 300 were made available.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label  75cl / Hometown of Success - Taiwan

Johnnie Walker is arguably the most popular and recognisable blended Scotch on the market. Its core range includes the standard Red Label and Black Label, introduced in 1909 and named, quite simply, after their packaging. The iconic “striding man” motif was first drawn by Tom Browne the year prior. The premium Blue Label brand was introduced in 1992, and is composed using malt whisky from some of the most sought after distilleries in Diageo’s extensive portfolio. Today, many of these distilleries are only still with us due to their importance to the Johnnie Walker blends during the difficult 1980s period for the industry. A true champion of the whisky world.
