On the table today: a Girvan 1964 from Scott’s Selection and an Invergordon 1975 bottled in 2022 by Alambic Classique. I indulge in two 47‑year‑old single grains to mark a personal milestone. After another year quietly added itself to the tally – reaching a number that still feels implausibly large – what better way to acknowledge the passage of time than with a pair of whiskies that share the same depth and maturity (I’ll concede, in my case, nothing’s won yet)?
We review two single grains from a lost distillery: the Dumbarton 1986 Scott’s Selection and 2000 The Caskhound.
We review two whiskies we expect to be close: same distillery, vintage, bottler and age: two 1973 Cameronbridge 37yo Scott’s Selection.
Invergordon primarily contributes to blends, official single grain bottlings remain rare: we review three indy Invergordon aged over 40 years.
We review the Port Dundas 46 and 47yo Scott’s Selection, from what was once Scotland’s largest distillery, and a founding member of DCL.
We review two ‘North of’ single grains today with North British 1989 & North of Scotland 1973 bottled by Scott’s Selection.
