Rare Malts Selection
The Rare Malts Selection was released between 1995 and 2005 by Mike Collins from United Distillers. They bottled a range of lesser-known or closed distilleries in order to present the unique character of each distillery. All releases in this collection are dated from the late 60’s, 70’s to 80’s and all are bottled at natural cask strength, bearing age statements ranging from 18 years to 30 years. Uld Buxford, who is the author of the book on this precious selection - ‘Rare Malts: Facts, Figures and Taste’ noted ‘The casks of Rare Malts Selection series are chosen not only for unsurpassed excellence and rarity, but also for consistency.’
GLENLOCHY
Situated in Fort William, Glenlochy was established by David McAndies in 1898. Glenlochy was later modernised by its owner - Scottish Malt Distiller Ltd. Glenlochy was closed in 1983 along with several other malt distilleries. All Glenlochy’s production went to blended whisky, except for a few casks saved for independent bottlers. The Rare Malts Selection is one such selection of casks.
The release dated 1969 is unique as this was the last batch before the pot stills were replaced with steam-heating system. The still, heated by coalfire, gifted the malt a toasted oak-wood aroma on the nose.
