Glenfiddich Pure Malt 1940sSpeyside Single Malt Scotch WhiskyDistillery Bottling 26 2 3 Fl Oz 70 Proof What's to say about such a stunning old bottle of malt in perfect condition from the 1940s? Well, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to taste whisky from an era that is truly dead. This is whisky made in a style that is not only old school but truly historic. This sort of whisky hasn't been made since before the second world war and is almost never genuinely available

A single cask Glen Grant 1979 30-year-old bottled without colouring or chill filtration by Douglas Laing to mark their 60th Anniversary back in 2009

the list of flavours in these old Glendronachs just goes on and on and on

mouth-filling quality

Linkwood has lived for so long in the shadow of more famous names like Macallan

Another of the great 1980s official 12-year-old bottlings of Springbank

Brand Big Peat

Longmorn 16-year-old was something of a disappointment when it was launched but thankfully that appears to have been a temporary glitch

and is known to contain a hefty proportion of Talisker in the recipe

one of the best official 40-year-old whiskies Scotland has to offer and among the shiniest crown jewels in Highland Park's output this century

So you should be in for a treat with this 26 year old from two Hogsheads

well worth trying given the reputation of these mid-late 1970s stocks at Benromach

farmy powerhouse of a dram
