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.

Good, old school distillate with plenty of oak influence. Proper stuff from Glenfarclas.

A tad heavier than the most recent iteration of the Vega, if I remember correctly, in which I found some more subtleties. Still, a cracking whisky, and one that (if you were able to get one at original retail price) provides a whole lot of bang for your buck.

I recently had the chance to taste my oldest Linkwood to date, a 40 year old from 1973 bottled by Gordon & MacPhail. Quite the exclusive whisky :)

Oh my god! Even a week after finishing this sample, I still can't get it out of my head. What an exceptional whisky!
