Series Trilogy

this will appeal to all you sherry-bomb fans for sure

Batch RO/16/07 is the only Rare Old bottling of Clynelish 1972 at the time of writing and is one of the best of the bunch

this 1974 is from the years just before Bowmore was sadly to change forever

This 21-year-old Ben Nevis 1990 matured in refill hogshead casks for thirteen years before being transferred into a single port bodega butt in 2003 for a further eight years of secondary maturation

I bet it's stunning though

A rare 1977 bottling from Dallas Dhu which was closed in 1983 this whisky was distilled in 1977 and bottled 20 years later before going into bottle in 1998 under the First Cask range
