Rare independant bottling of Ardbeg by Mackillops Choice, distilled 2 September 1993 and bottled December 2014 at cask strength 54.3% vol. 1 of only 280 bottles.
Caperdonich 1992 The Octave 27 Year Old 56%
Distilled in 1992 at the Caperdonich distillery and rested for 27 years in oak casks and bottled in 2019. 1 of only 90 bottles. Cask number #4125633 For upwards of 40 years the team at Duncan Taylor have experimented by maturing whiskies in smaller casks with great success. Their research stemmed from the simple premise that there is more wood interaction with the whisky over a shorter period of time in a small cask than in a large cask, therefore allowing a more rapid melding of wood, air and alcohol. After a second maturation the octave casks have refined the whisky, enhancing its hue, taste, form and character. The flavour profile is gently expanded, a little more sophisticated with the commanding presence of a mature, well balanced Scotch Whisky.
