Blair Athol, 1993, 25 Year Old
A seriously sophisticated ex-fortified wine cask malt; one to savour. Polished mahogany in colour, on the nose it is prickly, rather closed and dry.

The aroma of this intriguing Carsebridge Single Grain places exotic mango chutney amid the juicy-fruity top notes.
Port Ellen, 1981, 37 Year Old
A classic Port Ellen with exemplary character and vigour. Full gold, with beguiling aromas of beach seaweed, oily boat engines and sweet fruit.
Port Ellen, 1979, 40 Year Old
This superlative Port Ellen has a gentle nose-feel and a fruity top note. Beneath this, hints of ash emerge and intensify joined by traces of linseed oil and butterscotch or soft fudge.

“ONLY THE RAREST AND MOST UNIQUE CASKS ARE SELECTED FOR THIS EXCLUSIVE PROGRAMME, REFLECTING THE QUALITY, CRAFT AND EXPERTISE.”

MASTER WHISKY MAKER
WHERE EXPERTISE AND PASSION UNITE
Our team includes experts from across our maturing Scotch portfolio. These esteemed individuals bring decades of experience and a deep passion to this very special role.
Excellence has no limits. Chosen casks in the program can come from ‘ghost’ distilleries like Port Ellen and Brora or historical icons like Lagavulin.
Once the casks have been selected, they are transported to their new home in Royal Deeside at Royal Lochnagar. Nestled between the Scottish royal residence and the River Dee, Casks of Distinction sleep peacefully awaiting their new owners.
After bottling, the whisky is carefully stored in our dedicated storage service, Cellarers Wines Limited. Cellarers stores cases and bottles with the utmost care, ensuring optimal conditions, detailed labeling, careful shipping and more.
