Dalmore 1926 50 Year Old

Presented in a sturdy well-crafted wooden box with leather straps and a stopper for the bottle.

The decanter weighs 1.3 KG, which implies the fill level is either correct, or if the decanter weighs more than average slightly low. 

This is a prime example of classic authentic presentation for a liquid the age of which is going to be close to impossible to get in the future.

Drambuie Jacobite Decanter 45 Year Old

Named after Scotland's uprising of the 1740s, where apparently Drambuie's origins begin. Bonnie Prince Charlie was being pursued after the Battle of Culloden and had to escape from the Isle of Skye. He was assisted by John MacKinnon and as thanks the Prince gave him the recipe to his personal liqueur. The Clan MacKinnon passed this through the generations and it would eventually become Drambuie. 

This special edition is a blend of 21 year old whiskies that were then aged for 24 years in a combination of bourbon and sherry oak, then mixed with Drambuie's mix of herbs and spices. 

The liquid is filled into a hand blown tear drop decanter with stopper and presented with a replica Spottiswoode \"Amen\" Glass which was used by Jacobite sympathisers and ownership would have constituted treason. The set also includes a hand bound 32 page leather booklet by Ian Buxton telling the story of both the rebellion and the set. 

One of only 150 sets.
