Springbank Vintage 1997 Batch No.2 bottled 2008 (70cl, 54.9%)
This is the second batch of Springbank Vintage 1997. The first batch proved very popular indeed, and when this one was bottled in 2008, it was yet another stunning release from the distillery in Campbeltown. Something must have been happening in 1997… It was the year that Daft Punk released their first album, and the Chemical Brothers released brilliant their second album in 1997 too… Perhaps great electronic music is the the perfect soundtrack for distilling great whisky.
Quite a highly acclaimed Springbank chosen by Frank McHardy, distilled in 1997 and bottled in June 2007 at cask strength.

St Magdalene 40 Year Old 1982 Private Collection Gordon & MacPhail 70cl, 54.8%
Gordon & MacPhail’s Private collection range contains exceptionally mature whiskies from silent distilleries and this St Magdalene is no exception. Spending 40 years in a refill American hogshead has left this whisky with aromas of pomander, orchard fruit and cocoa powder on the nose, leading to poached pear, walnut and marzipan on the palate.
St Magdalene A legendary lost distillery, also known as Linlithgow, closed in 1983.
Also known as Linlithgow, this lost Lowlands distillery was built in the mid-18th century by Sebastian Henderson and operated for well over 200 years before being closed in the great cull of 1983.
It had passed to A & J Dawson in 1798 before being acquired by DCL in 1912. The distillerywas re-equipped in 1927 andhad its own floor maltings until 1968, after which it bought in malt from Glenesk.
Despite a capacity of around 200,000 gallons a year of production, there were no official bottlings during its lifetime, and most malt fans had barely heard of it until a series of stunning Rare Malt bottlings (as St. Magdalene) in the mid-to-late 1990s. It is now one of the most lamented lost distilleries (the buildings have been converted to private housing), and Rare Malt bottlings are hungrily seized upon by aficionados and collectors alike.

Suntory Royal 15 Year Old Bot.1980s For Bar Leigh 15th Anniversary 70cl, 43%
The pictures are from the actual bottle frond and back, if you’d like more detailed photos just get in touch!
One of the Japanese whisky giants, Kotobukiya, or as we know them today; Suntory. The company was founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1899, first as an importer of Western wines and liquor. As he progressed within the business, he decided to build Japan’s first distillery despite protests from company directors. This is where Masataka Taketsuru comes into the picture. He was hired as a distillery executive at Yamazaki on the outskirts of Kyoto. He later left the company to found his own. Suntory developed Japan’s interest with whisky by opening Torys bars throughout the country and introducing ways to drink and enjoy the spirit. Now they produce numerous ranges including Yamazaki, Hibiki, and Hakushu.
Blended whisky Suntory Royal was launched in the 1960 to mark the company’s 60th anniversary. This 15-year-old bottling is light and soft with notes of toffee, ginger and spice and is a great introduction to the world of Japanese whisky.

Suntory The Chita (70cl, 43%)
The Chita Japanese single grain whisky is one of the selection of fantastic distilleries owned by Suntory.
Chita is their main expression – a whisky matured in a combination of Sherry, bourbon and (interestingly) wine casks.
Chita whisky is great for the summer months.
Suntory Toki (70cl, 43%)
A blended whisky from Suntory’s three distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. Toki has a different composition to another Suntory blend, Hibiki, as its main components are Hakashu single malt and Chita grain whisky. It should work really well in a highball.
Fun fact: ‘Toki’ means ‘time’ in Japanese.
