Auction Ends Soon!
Time is nearly over for the bottles on this month Just Whisky Auction. Don’t leave it too late to place your bids! In amongst the selection of bottles are some real gems – here are some below:
Killyloch 1967 – 2003 Limited Edition
Having started out life as a paper mill, Killyloch was purchased and transformed in 1965 into Moffat Distillery, also home to the Garnheath and Glen Flagler Stills. Killyloch fell silent in 1986, however, several casks were set aside and warehoused until they were judged to be at their best for release by the Master Blender. This bottling is the result of the vatting of the casks – the last 6 of the proprietary stock available. The whisky has been bottled at natural cask strength and unchill-filtered to allow the genuine characteristics of this stunning malt to be enjoyed. As the QE2 was being launched in Clydebank in 1967 the American Oak Barrels at Moffat Distillery were being filled with Killyloch Single Malt Scotch Whisky, to be warehoused until their best for bottling. Killyloch was originally intended to be named Lillyloch which was the source of the water. The cask stencil received, however, contained a misspelling that was never corrected. Distilled in 1967 then bottled in 2003. Limited to only 371 bottles.
Kinclaith 1963 – G&M Private Collection
This is an incredibly hard to find bottle of Whisky from Kinclaith. The distillery operated for as little as 18 years and was situated within the Strathclyde Grain Distillery. This particular bottle is one of only 64 which was distilled on the 05/12/1963 then matured in cask 10052. The rare whisky was bottled around 33 years later in February 1996.
Glendronach 1968 – Re-opening of Glendronach Distillery 2002
A very rare 1968 Vintage release from Glendronach Distillery, This stunning whisky was specially bottled from a vatting of 2 Sherry casks (2640 & 2641) to commemorate the re-opening of the Glendronach Distillery on the 14th of May 2002.
