Speyside

This 24-year-old Single Malt is one of the oldest bottlings from the Knockdhu distillery. To avoid confusion with Knockando, the malts have been marketed under the name AnCnoc (pronounced a-nock) for several years. The name comes from the river of the same name, which provides the crystal clear water for the production of the Single Malt. The Highlander was bottled without chill-filtering and without the addition of colouring.

Part of the barley used in the production of Macallan Estate comes from the local Easter Elchies Estate on the banks of the River Spey. Macallan only distils this special Single Malt once a year for one week.

For Balvenie Caribbean Cask, Malt Master David Stewart filled American oak casks with special rum. When the casks were full of rum aromas, he replaced the contents with 14-year-old Balvenie. Scottish whisky thus meets Caribbean joie de vivre. Rich and sweet with a fruity character.

Sherry casks from European oak and the Jerez de la Frontera region (Spain) were used for Macallan Enigma. The single malt is part of the Quest Collection, which describes Macallan's search for the best sherry casks.

This 26-year-old Strathisla belongs to Gordon & MacPhail's Connoisseurs Choice series and was matured in a single refill American Hogshead. It was bottled exclusively for a German importer. The independent bottler is probably the one with the largest cask inventory. Already decades ago, the Urquhart family cultivated the important contacts to the distilleries, and now the range is correspondingly wide. In the meantime, their malts from the 'Distillery Labels' series are often considered original bottlings, as many of the distilleries included do not bottle themselves. The 1786 Strathisla Distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and takes its name from the river of the same name that flows near the distillery site.

Under this label, the independent bottler G&M has been bottling this Single Malt for the distillery for decades.

Among collectors, it is considered an original because of the authentic label.
