A 1970 vintage Bruichladdich as part of the Valinch label. This is the name given to the 'fill your own bottles' obtained on the distillery tour and rarely come on to the market. This one comes from cask 5085 and was bottled not long after the turn of the millennium.

A very limited edition Glenmorangie, matured for 14 years in a cask that previous held Cognac.

A characterful old bottle of Tomatin 10 year old bottled in the 1960s.

A very rare 1980s release of 15 year old Aberfeldy, bottled by the distillery.

A 1965 vintage whisky from Edderton's Balblair, bottled by Cadenhead's at 12 years on old in September 1977.

A 16-year-old Aultmore bottled to commemorate the distillery's centenary. Aged, judging by the colour, in a sherry cask, and bottled at 63% abv.

A remarkably well-priced 40 year old from Glenfarclas range; simply-packaged just like the distillery's standard bottlings, and bottled at a perfect drinking strength of 46%. A 40 year old sherried Speyside designed for drinking rather than sitting on a mantlepiece or in a display cabinet - bravo. Awarded a very well-merited Gold Medal at the Malt Maniacs Awards 2010.

A litre bottle of Ardbeg 17 Year Old. A tad less peaty than early bottlings, this is still a great whisky, but is sadly becoming very thin on the ground as demand increases and supply runs low - it's now a good few years since owners Glenmorangie discontinued it. The first bottling of this sparked the revival of Ardbeg's fortunes after the takeover by Glenmorangie.

This 1974-vintage Ardbeg was bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 1994 as part of the Spirit of Scotland series to commemorate 500 years of Scotch whisky.
