Lots of soft coastal phenols, wax, heather, fruits and notes of beeswax, mint and honey. A beautiful old Highland Park an another triumph for G&M in this consistently brilliant series.

This is a 1969 refill butt bottled at a natural cask strength of 56

is believed to have been bottled around 1985 - making the distillate early to mid 1960s

Aroma: A mellow nose

A rather tasty and more 'intimate' bottling of one of Diageo's more obscure distilleries

Blended Scotch Whisky 75cl / 43%

Palate: Salty with passionfruit and roasted tones givies way to a long malty

Definitely a must try for anyone serious about understanding the greatness and flavour history of Islay whisky

combining elegant honey with tangy citrus and gentle vanilla

with the 1876 being one of the last Macallan Replicas to be bottled

A 1976 25 year old Highland Park bottled in 2008 by Direct Wines for their First Cask series

A stunning whisky and a remarkable bottling that reaffirmed G&M's position as the master indie bottlers of some of the most incredible whiskies ever produced

We all know that Auchentoshan are masters at fully triple distilling their whisky but they also mastered the art of sherry maturation here with this expression
