Glen Grant 30 Year Old 1990 The Octave (Duncan Taylor) (cask 4427569) Bottle No.09 70cl, 55.8%
This glorious Glen Grant single malt spent a whole three decades maturing between 1990 and 2021. Intensified by time in a sherry cask around one-eighth of the size of a standard butt (allowing more rapid interaction between the whisky and the cask), the team at indie bottler Duncan Taylor spotted that it was a special dram, and a worthy whisky to bottle up for The Octave series.

Bunnahabhain 30 Year Old 1989 The Octave (Duncan Taylor) Bottle No.29 70cl, 50.8%
This exciting 30-year-old Bunnahabhain from 1989 comes from the new premium Octave series from independent bottler Duncan Taylor, which features a lavish selection of exclusive whiskies.
With a capacity of approximately 50 liters, Octaves are the smallest casks used in whisky production. Their smaller size allows the whisky to have greater contact with the wood, allowing for faster and more intensive maturation. Sometimes just a few months in an Octave cask are enough to impart intense aromas from the cask walls to the malt.
Limited to 56 bottles.
