BALBLAIR 1979 24 YEAR OLD HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1979Bottle Number: 333 / 315046% ABV / 70cl The Highland distillery of Balblair, overlooking the Dornoch Firth, produces a light fruity and complex spirit, a result of its slow, decidedly old school production methods.First marketed as a single malt in the year 2000, it wasn’t until 2007 when they expanded the range (prioritising vintages over age statements) that Balbair really took off. Despite this, in 2019, the distillery made the move back to age statements in order to appeal to a broader clientele. However, there will be a few diehard fans who will miss the era of vintages.
ARRAN 1996 PRIVATE CASK #1342 Island Single Malt Distilled: 25/09/1996Bottled: 08/2010Matured in Cask #1342Bottled for "Andrew Gibbs"52.3% ABV / 70cl Still a relative youngster in whisky terms, Arran distillery began production in 1995. Thanks to a focus on sourcing quality casks, and its light, accessible spirit that ages well, Arran has proven extremely successful. So much so, that in 2017 they began construction of a second distillery on the other side of the island. Sharing a name with Arran’s only other previous legal still (closed in 1837), Lagg distillery focuses on producing peated spirit.
GLENGOYNE 14 YEAR OLD HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT 40% ABV / 70cl Founded in 1833, Glengoyne distillery, just to the north of Glasgow, straddles the Highland/Lowland border. The light, fruity and honied spirit is predominantly filled into Sherry Casks that are transported from its Highland Still House, across the road to its warehouses in the Lowlands. Glengoyne wasn't seriously marketed as a single malt until the 1990s, and has since achieved huge popularity, especially in Europe. And, thanks to its proximity to Glasgow, visitors flock to the distillery in their droves to experience the many tours and tastings on offer.
AUCHENTOSHAN THREE WOOD LOWLAND SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70cl Auchentoshan is part of a small minority of Scottish distilleries, in that every drop of whisky it produces is sold as a single malt. Similarly unusual is its use of triple distillation to produce a purer spirit that’s light and mildly fruity. Situated just outside Clydebank, the distillery was lucky to survive the 1941 blitz relatively unscathed. Only one of its warehouses was damaged by a bomb blast, and another near miss provided a blast crater that later became the distillery’s picturesque pond.
