From Duncan Taylor: Specially selected from the ancient whisky archives at Duncan Taylor, this incredibly rare whisky was distilled at the renowned Macallan Distillery, in the heart of the Highlands of Scotland. Since 1824 Macallan have been demonstrating the excellence of spirit and cask to craft stunning whiskies which are celebrated around the world. The American Oak maturation in this 52 Year Old, has created a remarkable whisky, which is endlessly enticing, complex and rich. Tasting Notes Colour - Polished bronze. Nose - Rich, dark chocolate with notes of overripe orange peel shining through. Hints of cinnamon and dusty spices, with a touch of aniseed, sweet wood and creamy vanilla. Palate - Rich, toffee and demerara sugar bound into caramel biscuits. Fruitiness is more subdued and more reminiscent of underripe fruits, perfectly balanced, with a little spice on the front of the tongue. Finish - The maturation in American Oak shows a smoother, softer side to The Macallan. A creamy, sweeter more tropical flavoured whisky than the traditional aged sherry casks. Only 10 bottles available across the United States.

Scotch Whisky Company , Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky, has released two very special whiskies as part of their “Rarest of the Rare” portfolio, in time for the Nth Ultimate Whisky Experience Show at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, at the end of April. Dating back to 1969, the launch of a Kinclaith 51-year-old and Caperdonich 50-year-old form part of a collection of rare whisky casks from closed distilleries, that Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky has matured in warehouse for half a century. Both whiskies have notable histories; Kinclaith’s transitory existence ended in 1975 and production of Caperdonich from Rothes finished in 2002. These sought after whiskies are rarely released and it’s the first time that the Aberdeenshire bottler has launched drams dating back over 50 years. Caperdonich’s conception dates back to 1898. Mothballed for approximately six decades Caperdonich’s production was reinstated in 1965 to fulfil demand for Glen Grant, culminating in the expansion of the Caperdonich distillery site in 1967. The new pot stills were steam heated which was a very modern technology at the time and the whisky was given a new appellation in 1966, Caperdonich. The name was chosen after its water source. A limited release of less than 100 handcrafted glass decanters is available of each whisky worldwide. The bottles will be individually numbered and engraved as well as housed in a beautiful lockable framed box, inside a brushed stainless steel carry case.

Located on the south side of the river Clyde, this small malt distillery was housed within the massive Strathclyde grain distillery complex. The vital ingredients were all locally procured, and the liquid matured in a combination of American and European oak casks, producing some of the finest malt whisky over an 18-year period. Unfortunately, it was closed in 1975 and demolished to make way for an extension being built at Strathclyde.
