LAGAVULIN 16 YEAR OLD WHITE HORSE ISLAY SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70cl The Islay distillery of Lagavulin first gained notoriety in 1862 when it was acquired by the well-known blender, John Logan Mackie. He then passed the reins to his nephew Peter, who is credited with the creation of the highly regarded White Horse Blend. This blend was so successful that by 1924 the Mackie group changed their name to White Horse Distillers, before becoming part of the DCL group a few years later. Lagavulin single malt was still produced under the White Horse Distillers name until the late 1990s when it became part of the Diageo conglomerate. The most famous advocate of Lagavulin is probably fictional character, Ron Swanson, from hit US sit-com Parks & Recreation. However, Nick Offerman (the actor who plays Ron) must also enjoy a drop, as he has partnered up with the distillery to create his own limited-edition whisky.

DEW OF BEN NEVIS CERAMIC DECANTER, MILLENNIUM BLEND AND WEST HIGHLAND RAILWAY EDITION BLENDED WHISKY All 40% ABV / 70cl Qty: 3 Ben Nevis distillery, located at the foot of the UK’s highest mountain of the same name, was responsible for producing one of the most successful blended whiskies of the late 19th Century. Named after “Long” John MacDonald, who was the first to acquire a licence for the distillery, the Long John brand was so popular that a second distillery was built next door just to keep up with demand (and, no… before you ask, we don’t know what Mr MacDonald’s “Long” moniker referred to, or if it was self-appointed). Sadly, these good fortunes didn’t continue, and by 1908 the second distillery ceased production, instead being utilised as a bonded warehouse. Today Ben Nevis is owned by Japanese whisky giants, Nikka, with some of its output being used in their blended “Japanese” whiskies. Its popularity as a single malt has also grown thanks to many favourable reviews.

GLENFIDDICH 125TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Bottled: 201243% ABV / 70cl Without Glenfiddich, Scotland might not enjoy the same thriving whisky scene it has today. Founded in 1886 by William Grant, and still family owned, Glenfiddich was one of the first distilleries to seriously market single malt whisky as a credible alternative to blends. This decision was prompted by a dispute with their grain supplier in 1963, leading to a scaling back in production of their Grant’s blend. By the late 1960s Glenfiddich single malt was a firm hit with the Jet Set, who were picking it up in their droves from the newly emerging Duty-Free market. That early prescience clearly paid off, as (despite strong competition from fellow Speyside giants Glenlivet and Macallan) Glenfiddich is consistently the best-selling single malt in the world, shifting over 1 million cases every year. Please see additional photos.

GLENLIVET 1987 16 YEAR OLD CHIVAS BROTHERS CASK STRENGTH EDITION 50CL SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1987Bottled: 2004Batch number GL 16 00156.6% ABV / 50cl One of the very first distilleries in Scotland to be granted an official licence, after the passing of the licencing act in 1823, Glenlivet distillery has become synonymous with Speyside whisky. So much so, that at one point 28 other distilleries in the area adopted “Glenlivet” as a suffix to their own brand in order to piggyback on the reputation Glenlivet had built for itself. Although that practise has fallen by the wayside in recent years some independent bottlers still use it. The Glenlivet brand is now one of the most recognisable in the world, and despite the distillery undergoing an expansion and upgrade (beginning) in 2010, their iconic 12-Year-Old expression still had to be discontinued for a few years before production was able to catch up with demand.
