Against The Grain \"Eagle Eyed\" 1994 15 Year Old

An independant bottling from the legendary wine merchant, Oddbin's.  The Against the Grain series consisted of 9 bottles from distilleries they 'tried' to keep secret, we are unsure about this distillery though, suggestions?

Bottle number 21 of 430.

Ardmore 1981 Gordon and MacPhail

Orphan Barrel Gifted Horse

Yet another delightful whisky mistake... A 17 year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon was mixed with a 4 year old Stitzel-weller whisky. 

So a blend of 38.5% of the old bourbon (Bernheim), 51% Young Indiana Bourbon whisky and 10.5% Young Indiana corn whisky. 

The reveiws of the liquid are good, so it seems this may have been a serendipitous accident.

Made from Punjabi malted barley, this single malt is matured in casks previously used for bourbon.

Raj Igala means the King of Eagles.

Old Pulteney 17 Year Old

One of our favourites, Old Pulteney 17 year old has been highly acclaimed receiving an impressive 96.5 points in the Whisky Bible.
