An old bottling of top selling Glenmorangie 10-year-old is a rare thing being bottled in the 1960s. Older bottlings of Glenmorangie 10 take a deeper richer colour and the same in taste. Wonderful for that special occasion.
This is an absolutely fantastic whisky it is a testament to the Glenmorangies of the past, it is the perfect closing of chapter. Becoming much rarer to see now even in the really high-end London specialist whisky dealers (who would add a few hundred on to what I am asking). This would make a very good investment piece as its a bottle of history getting rapidly rarer.

House of Commons 12-year-old 1980s.
Especially selected from the Buchanans selection, this is a truly great whisky and what makes it great is in the 80s it was blended from two of the best Buchanans own De Luxe and the legendary Black & Wight making this a very deceptive bottle of whisky.
Hundred Pipers 1980s.

Level- High neck

This is a Speyside rare single malt that was distilled at Inchgower and bottled for The House of Bells in the 1970s at 70% proof.
Johnnie Walker black label 1970s.
Johnnie Walker Black Label’s iconic square bottle makes it one of the world’s most recognisable Scotch whiskies – and it’s also one of the worlds favourite blends. If there is a silkier delivery on the market today, I have not seen it. This is sublime stuff…one of the world’s most masterful whiskies in all its complex glory’
Level- Top of the shoulder
Langs Select 12-year-old 1990s.
This is a little rare gem, and punches well above its weight against the big boys. Langs have especially selected and created a wonderful full bodied and spicy whisky with complexities that make you go straight back for more. For the money simply brilliant.
Lochindaal 43 10-year-old.
This is rare because it has been discontinued after only a very short run, it is a Islay single malt, a very good one for collectors.
MacPhails 30-year-old 1990s
Rare Old MacPhails 30 is a very special whisky, it was matured in Gorden and MacPhails Elgin warehouse and comes packaged in an attractive decanter, complete with scroll, the level as you can see has dropped dew to evaporation to just below the shoulder. The nose is quite rich and full a touch of smoke, it has thick fruity character with a pinch of winter spice but well-balanced. A really good drinker.
Old Fettercairn 1970s
Fettercairn was founded in 1824 and is reputed to be the second oldest licensed distillery in Scotland. It was rebuilt in 1897 after a fire had destroyed the distillery. Production was stopped in 1926 until 1939 when it was acquired by The National Distillers of America. In 1966 the number of stills were doubled from 2 to 4. The distillery was then acquired by Tomintoul-Glenlivet Distillery Co Ltd in 1971 and then Whyte & Mackay in 1973. Only 4% of the production is sold as single malt, the remaining 96% is used in blends such as the Whyte & Mackay blend.
On new bottlings of Fettercairn the word “Old” has been dropped and replaced with “1824” the year that the distillery was founded. In general, the house style tends to be: Earthy, sulphury and nutty.
A bottling of 15-year-old Springbank released by the distillery, probably around the early 1980s. This simply-packaged classic is increasingly difficult to find.
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, 17-year-old, Leith 1973.
This is for you whisky connoisseurs out there, a rare single cask Leith whisky, distilled in November 1973, bottled in September 1990, it comes in at an impressive 99.4 proof and a sole worming 56.8%, a great one for the collectors.
Tormore 10-year-old 1970s
A distillery-bottled 1970s edition of Tormore 10-year-old from the 1970s when the company was owned by Long John Distillers. This is a wonderful well-rounded whisky with subtle complexity only to be found in the 1970s bottling.
