GLENLIVET 18 YEARS OLD | Stated age: 18 years old | ABV: 43% | Region: Speyside | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper box | Bottle code: LW10714/08/07/01 15:13 | Estimate: 2 000 - 3 000 Kc | Distillery | Glenlivet is an iconic Scottish distillery located in the Speyside region, with a history dating back to 1824 when it was founded by George Smith. It was one of the first distilleries to obtain a legal license following the passage of the Excise Act of 1823, allowing it to produce whiskey legally. This move to legalize whiskey production was met with resistance from local illegal producers at the time, but Glenlivet quickly became a model for other distilleries. It is known for its fine spirit, which is characterized by notes of apples and malt.Thanks to its quality, Glenlivet soon became one of the most popular whiskies, not only in Scotland, but also on the international scene. Already in the 1830s, it was popular in London, especially among the upper classes of society. The Glenlivet name gained such prestige that other Speyside distilleries began to use its name. This dispute led to a legal battle which George Smith won, resulting in only Glenlivet being allowed to use the name "The Glenlivet".In 1978 the distillery was incorporated into Seagram. When Pernod Ricard bought Seagram's whiskey portfolio in 2001, Glenlivet became the global group's key brand. Under the management of Pernod Ricard, Glenlivet has grown to become one of the best-selling single malt whiskeys in the world.Today, Glenlivet offers a wide range of bottlings, including the famous 12-year-old, 15-year-old, 18-year-old, 21-year-old and 25-year-old whiskies. It also features limited editions and vintage bottlings that are sought after by whiskey enthusiasts around the world. | Bottle | Glenlivet Aged 18 Years is a single malt whisky from the renowned Glenlivet distillery, celebrated for its elegance and finesse. This 18-year-old expression is prized for its complexity and balance, achieved through maturation in a combination of American and European oak barrels. American casks impart subtle vanilla notes, while European casks add layers of dried fruit and spice.Nose: Rich and complex, with notes of ripe fruit such as apples and pears, complemented by caramel and subtle hints of oak spice.Taste: Smooth and well-balanced, with flavors of fruitcake, caramel, and oak, accented by a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg.Finish: Long and warm, with lingering notes of spice, fruit, and a subtle presence of oak.
SPEYBURN SOLERA 25 YEARS OLD | Stated age: 25 years old | ABV: 46% | Region: Highland | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper tube, traces of mold and rust on the cap | Bottle code: P006045 6039 09:53 L15 | Estimate: 4 000 - 6 000 Kc | Distillery | Speyburn is a Scottish whiskey distillery located in a narrow valley opposite Glen Grant Distillery. It opened in 1897 and was designed by the famous local architect Charles Doig, who is known as the inventor of the iconic pagoda, a characteristic feature of Scotch distilleries. This pagoda was used to ventilate the malting kilns that were essential to whiskey production. Doig also introduced the first pneumatic malthouses in the Highlands, making whiskey production more efficient and reducing reliance on traditional malting floors. These malthouses were in operation until 1968.The distillate has a characteristic sulphurousness, which is the result of the use of traditional "worm tubs" (coolers). These coolers create an environment where heavier, sulphurous notes naturally develop in the distillate. However, during barrel aging, these sulphurous elements gradually mellow and transform, revealing the softer, more aromatic profile that is characteristic of Speyburn.In recent years, Speyburn has made a significant presence in the American market, where it is promoted as affordable single malt whisky. Although the lower price brought significant sales growth to the brand, its reputation suffered in part. Despite this, Speyburn ranks among the top 10 single malt whiskies, although it remains relatively unknown and underappreciated in some parts of the world. | Bottle | Speyburn Aged 25 Years Solera is a single malt whisky aged in a combination of American oak fino sherry and bourbon casks, using the solera method. Solera maturation provides consistency to the whisky's profile and imparts richness while preserving a balanced and delicate character, appealing to both connoisseurs and fans of complex yet subtler whiskies.Nose: Sweet honey notes with floral aromas and hints of citrus fruits.Taste: Full and sweet at the start, with flavors of caramel, vanilla, and dried fruit (raisins), creating a well-balanced taste.Finish: Long, warm, and sweet, with lingering hints of licorice and toffee.

The distillery was founded in 1825 by Alexander Mackay in the port town of Port Ellen, which played a significant role in the transportation of whiskey and other commodities. Although the distillery originally operated for several decades, production ceased in 1929. It reopened in 1967, but only for a short time, before closing for good in 1983 due to overproduction of whiskey during the Depression of the 1980s.Even after the distillery closed, the Port Ellen Maltings remained in operation, which to this day they still provide malt for other distilleries on Islay, including Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Ardbeg and Bowmore. Port Ellen whiskey has achieved legendary status thanks to its distinctive peaty flavour, rich marine notes and extraordinary complexity.In 2017, Diageo announced plans to reopen the distillery to preserve the traditional elements of the original production.

The distillery reopened in 2024.Thanks to its fascinating history and limited supply, Port Ellen whiskey has become one of the most sought after in the world. | Bottle | Port Ellen 1982 is a single malt whisky, bottled by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail in November 2007 as part of the prestigious Connoisseurs Choice range.

It was founded in 1826 by James Henderson, who moved whiskey production from nearby Stemster. The distillery is located in Pulteneytown, which was born out of the boom in the herring trade in the late 18th century. At the time, Wick was the largest center of the herring trade in Europe, which greatly contributed to the rapid growth of the town.After the Prohibition period in Wick (1922-1947) and several changes of ownership, the distillery was acquired in 1995 by Inver House Distillers , which renovated the distillery and launched the Old Pulteney brand.

Its history dates back to 1798, although the circumstances surrounding its creation are shrouded in myth. The foundation is attributed to either the well-known smuggler and priest Magnus Eunson or the farmer David Robertson. The exact details are disputed, but the distillery's official gate bears the year 1798 as the beginning of its history.The distillery did not gain its real stability and development until the second half of the 19th century, when it was first owned by William Stuart (proprietor of Miltonduff), and then James Grant, former manager of the Glenlivet Distillery. Under their leadership, the distillery was expanded and became an important part of the Scotch whiskey industry.In 1937, Highland Park became part of Highland Distillers, which is now part of the Edrington Group (which also includes The Macallan in its portfolio). Highland Park whiskey first appeared on the market as a single malt in the 1970s in an 8-year-old version, but in the 1980s the packaging underwent a redesign (and then several other modifications) when 12-year and 18-year versions were introduced. The distillery soon gained a strong, almost cult-like fan base, and its offerings are constantly expanding.

Four years later, a large malthouse was built next door, which was further expanded in 1973.For unclear reasons, the distillery was renamed again in 1980, this time to Glenesk, and operated until it closed in 1985.
