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.

Felipe II Brandy Sherry 1950s

Brandy de Jerez is brandy from the Jerez region of Spain - where sherry comes from.

It is aged by the solera method like sherry, that is new is mixed with old on a systematic basis, accelerating the maturation process. Theoretically, there is some portion of the first brandy ever aged by the distiller in there! Brandy de Jerez is generally sweeter than cognac and has a nice complexity. Felipe II is sweetish, with a nice roundness to the flavor. It is also interesting to note that since alembic distilling was begun by Muslims and the Jerez region was under their rule from many years, brandy de Jerez has quite a pedigree
