A pre 1964 bottling of James Martin's 12 year old blended Scotch whiskey, which we believe was intended for the American market. An elegant, curvy bottle houses this vintage whiskey, although the label has significantly faded over the years. The fill level also seems a little low, although we can't see any signs of a leak.
Produced in Scotland, this James Martins 20 Years Old is a whiskey with a smooth taste and light notes of orange peel and vanilla, followed by an aroma of varied flowers. Throughout the exceptionally long period of maturation, they were carefully monitored and then blended in order to obtain a pleasant balance between smoothness and richness, deep flavor...
A master distiller from Italy, Giacamo Justerini (the 'J' in J&B), fell head over heels in love with an opera singer, Margherita Bellini, and followed her to England. His love was unrequited, but Margherita introduces him to Samuel Johnson, who in turn would introduce him to his future business partner, his nephew, George Johnson.
A very retro looking bottle of 8 year old blended Scotch whisky from veterans of the whisky world, Whyte & Mackay. This bottle was produced in the 1960s and remains in rather good condition, though sadly the presentation box has suffered some damage over the years (of which there have been many for this antique).
The 1968 vintage from Gordon and MacPhail's wide range of Glen Grant bottlings. This was matured in first-fill sherry casks. Bottlers comment on this "after dinner, with a cigar?"
Scotch whiskey is without a doubt one of the most respected whiskeys in the world. There are different styles, and in all of them we can find a very unique and authentic profile. Among the true masterpieces produced in Scotland, some have a peaty and smoky profile while others are light and fruity.
A special Bell’s released to celebrate the 1981 marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, the Scotch lives in a resplendent bell-shaped decanter. A genuine collector’s item that’s sure to appreciate in value.
Still in production standard like Long John, this blend was very well established in honor of the legendary Macdonald, who founded the Ben Nevis distillery. Its malt was supposedly a key ingredient, although the core of Long John later became Tormore, which began distilling in 1961. It has light grainy notes, a distinct sweetness and a short finish.
