Glenfarclas “Blairfindy” 1965 40 Years Old (Blackadder)
Glenfarclas isn’t too keen on independent bottlers using their name, so the bottlers find creative ways at suggesting the contents of a particular bottling without upsetting the Grant family. Blairfindy is what Blackadder settled on.
Deanston 20 Years Old Oloroso Casks (2015)
I contemplated buying a bottle when the Deanston 20 Years Old Oloroso Casks was released. Instead, I settled for a sample instead. Turns out, that was a good thing.
Glen Keith 1993 24 Years Old (Gordon & MacPhail)
Looking for that one Glen Keith bottling to finally provide me with an emotional connection to the distillery.
Littlemill 29 Years Private Cellar Edition #3 (2019)
The new Littlemill 29 Years Private Cellar Edition #3 is up there with the best this closed distillery has to offer.
Ben Nevis 1996 18 Years Old (The Whisky Agency)
There’s a lot to love here. It doesn’t have the signature Ben Nevis dirtiness, which to me is always a big plus. What remains is a top notch single malt from a cult distillery.
