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: Bowmore

Age: 23 Years

ABV: 51.5%

Cask: American oak hogsheads, Essencia® barriques, a rare ‘Rose Oak’

Size: 700 ml

Bowmore No Corners to Hide captures the distillery's past and the legends which define it – via two expressions, this 23-Year-Old bottling and a 32-Year-Old, creating the first chapter of the Frank Quitely Series. A collaboration between the acclaimed graphic artist and Bowmore’s Master Blender this bottling pays homage to a legend, the Devil which has shaped the village of Bowmore. After the initial maturation in American oak hogsheads the liquid continued its journey into Essencia® barriques, a rare ‘Rose Oak’ dating back to the 1830s, to bring an exceptionally deep, powerful and distinctive character to the fore. 

Aroma of incense, beeswax and a struck match transport the senses to Bowmore’s round church. The unmistakable notes of Bowmore’s subtle peat smoke, brine and oak linger on the finish, tempting the soul. (Tasting Notes from the Producer)

Distillery: Bruichladdich

Age: 25 Years Old

ABV: 48.1% (Cask Strength)

Cask: Oloroso Sherry/ PX Sherry

Size: 700 ml

This Bruichladdich 25 years is a very special edition originally released for the Travel Retail market. An unpeated Islay Single Malt whisky with complex maturation (executed in collaboration with winemaker Jan Pettersen) which includes Oloroso Sherry and PX (Pedro Ximinez) Sherry Casks. Finding a Bruichladdich matured in Sherry Casks is quite unusual since the new make is fairly delicate and floral and the folks at Bruichladdich are extra careful that the maturation in Sherry Casks should not overpower these distillery characteristics.

A limited release of 6000 bottles. WhiskyBase - 90+ Points (an average of over 350 votes) Whiskyfun rating of 87 points. A remarkable bottling indeed.
