In May 2025, Suntory released the Yamazaki Story of the Distillery 2025 Edition—the second release of a limited bottling series that honors the distillery’s rich history, its founder, and the craftsmanship behind the whiskies. Each annual release brings to life a chapter of the distillery’s history. The 2025 Edition focuses on the founder, Shinjiro Torii’s continued determination during the distillery’s construction and its early, challenging years.

Color: Deep, radiant reddish-amber—hints of sun-ripened fruit and aged oak. Nose: Rich dried persimmon, warm clove spice, vanilla custard, and subtle dark chocolate; soft floral undertones (cherry blossom) and a whisper of smoky peat. Palate: Full-bodied and silky, with layers of orange marmalade, red bean paste sweetness, and dried fruit (raisin, fig); Mizunara oak adds sandalwood and coconut, while Spanish oak brings bright citrus. Finish: Long, lingering, and complex—smoky spice, dark chocolate, and a gentle umami warmth that echoes Yamazaki’s misty valley terroir.

Distillery: Inchgower Distillery

Age: 20 Year Old (July 1995 - September 2015)

ABV: 57.6%

Cask: Sherry Butt

Size: 700 ml

Blackadder Inchgower 20 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky was independently bottled by Blackadder as Raw Cask Statement Edition No. 12 to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary. Distilled in July 1995 and bottled in September 2015 after 20 years in a single sherry butt, it was released at 57.6% ABV (cask strength) without chill filtration or without addition of any colouring. The Raw Cask series also tends to have natural cask sediment since the whisky is not heavily filtered. 582 bottles were produced. Bottle number for reference only.

The sherry maturation adds an old-school depth to Inchgower’s salty, maritime character. Rated highly on Whiskybase at +87.

Region: Speyside (Scotland)

Distillery: Aberlour

Age: 8 Years

ABV: 50%

Cask: Oak

Size: 750 ml

A highly collectible 1960s Aberlour-Glenlivet in the classic square bottle format at 750ml. Distilled in 1965 at Aberlour Glenlivet Distillery and bottled by Campbell's Distillery Ltd. for importer Rinaldi.

The label is notable for its “Over 8 Years Old” age statement, a style associated with historic export bottlings, while the 1965 vintage places it among the more desirable post-war Aberlour releases. The bottle retains the original tax seal on the capsule from Rinaldi imports.

Of particular interest is "Unblended All Malt" description, a vintage marketing term indicating a whisky is exclusively from 100% malted barley and drawn from a single distillery, without being blended with grain whisky, before modern terminology such as “single malt” became standard. 

This old Speyside malt carries the hallmarks of a bygone era and remains a desirable release among collectors seeking early distillery bottlings with strong visual appeal and historic significance.

Please note that fill level at top-shoulder, the capsule seal is slightly torn and the Label is bin-soiled. No box. Sold in "As Is" condition.

Distillery: Kentucky Deluxe

Age: 8 Years Old

ABV: 43% (86 Proof)

Cask: New American oak barrels

Size: 750 ml

Kentucky Deluxe 8 Year Old 86 Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a vintage expression, bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV).

This aged version is distinct from the contemporary, lower‑proof blended whiskey now sold under the same brand name. It was produced and bottled by Heaven Hill Brands (under various distillery names such as Deluxe Distilling Co.), making it a sought‑after piece of vintage Kentucky bourbon history.

Please note the condition of the label appears soiled. Additional images available on request. No Box. Sold in "As Is" condition.

"During the Shosho period, the music of summer festivals echoing through the evening sky signals the arrival of the short but intense summer.
