About the distillery
Scotland's oldest distillery is from the Highland Whisky region but is nestled near Crieff in the Scottish midlands the distillery was officially founded in 1959 but has illicit roots dating back to 1775 as a smugglers distillery. Occupying a spot near the banks of the River turret the distillery sources its water from Loch Turret.
The distillery is a core component in the blend the Famous Grouse and so very few single casks make it on the to the market except through independent bottlers. Together with modest production, the distillery runs at half capacity and is among Scotland’s smallest Scotch Whisky distilleries while it’s warehouses store multitudes of Scotland’s Whisky casks, making Glenturret Whisky among the rarest active distilleries on the market while retaining an incredibly pivotal role in the industry as a whole.

About the distillery
The Speyside distillery was founded near Kingussie in 1956 within the Cairngorm Mountains of Northern Speyside. Although the distillery was built in the modern era and represents one of Scotland’s newest distilleries they use traditional Whisky production practices and the distillery itself can only produce a relatively small amount of Whisky on a yearly basis. Taking its water from The Tromie river, the distillery is the closest distillery to the famous River Spey’s headwaters, where so many of Speyside’s plentiful distilleries take their water from.
The story of the cask
This was originally a forgotten Bourbon Cask which previously made headlines as part of a fraud investigation in 2004.
In the late 1990s a Wine Merchant promoted the sale of “Grandtully Distillery” casks to members of the public. The name was meant to provide links to local distillery history but Grandtully Distillery never existed – it was a brass-plate address. The casks were sold on the claim that Grandtully Whisky was highly sought after and that there was shortage of Single Malt Whisky. The Serious Fraud office got involved and the fraudster in charge of the Wine Merchant was brought to justice while the casks remained in the ownership of the private buyers, maturing in a warehouse in Speyside. The court case was recently settled at Southwark Crown Court and the casks, now around 20 years old, were free to be sold on. After sitting in a warehouse since the mid 1990s, and largely forgotten about, this cask came to us through a private seller and has matured beautifully.
This light desert dram is an intriguing olive gold colour.
Nose – fresh and fruity with hints of buttery shortbread
Palate – Sweet vanilla with honey melon and toffee
Finish – a long lingering finish of lemon cheesecake

About the distillery
The obscure distillery of Aultmore takes her name from the Gaelic ‘big burn’ in reference to the burn that runs near the distillery. Sitting above Keith, she lies surrounded by dense fog in the wonderfully natural and idyllic terrain of Northern Speyside.
Aultmore was constructed over a century ago in 1895 by Benrinnes-owner Alexander Edward although the first spirit was distilled in 1897, the same year Bram Stoker’s Dracula was published and the year of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee!
Unfortunately Aultmore failed to escape the ruin of the infamous Pattison Crisis which brought the industry to its knees and resulted in the closure of many of Scotland’s distilleries. Closed until 1903 the distillery was forced into silence again when Britain halted distilling in the War years of 1914 to 1918, as it similarly did from 1795 to 1797 which impacted Tobermory, in order to avoid using grain that would be better used in the war effort. The distillery resumed activity under new ownership in 1923.
Under her current owners Aultmore has not enjoyed the notoriety she deserves as she has mainly been used in blends, with that in mind a rare single cask release of Aultmore carries a prestigious weight of intrigue.

A bright start for the Miltonduff, presenting pineapple and a light ashy bouquet. A single cask release from this historic Speyside distillery. Distilled August 1995 and aged for 19 years. The cask yielded 177 bottles which were bottled at cask strength, 51.4%alc this time
About the distillery
The historic distillery has roots dating back to 1236 and the time of the Pluscarden Abbey although it was officially founded in 1824 by Robert Bain and Andrew Peary. The use of the term ‘official’ is important because the distillery was rumoured to be an illegal distillery which carried the name Milton and as fate would have it the Catholic Church briefly owned part of Miltonduff, specifically the local parish in Elgin was bequeathed a share of the ownership of the distillery in 1900 although their share of stock was sold shortly after. The addition of Duff to the Milton name comes from the family who owned the land the distillery was founded on.
Located near Elgin within Speyside, the water source is the Black Burn that flows from the Abbey’s old springs. At one point the distillery was the biggest distillery in Allied Distillers ltd range and it served as ‘Technical Centre’, where it housed an engineering centre and laboratory. The investment continued after the Allied Spirits ltd was taken over by Pernod Ricard as the distillery was used for the dark grain spirits plant – which turns the by-product of Whisky (grains) into animal feed.
About the cask
A bourbon cask aged for 19 years. The spirit was distilled in August in 1995 and bottled only in September 2015. The cask yielded 177 bottles which were bottled at cask strength, that being 51.4%alc this time. There was non-chill filtering or any other additives. The bottles for the Miltonduff release are all uniquely etched with a bottle number and we have continued our unique bottle design using glass etching which allows for the golden spirit to be the centre of attention.

Our tasting experience revealed a bright start for the Miltonduff, presenting pineapple and a light ashy bouquet. On second inspection we are greeted with more citrus with a herbaceous grassy aroma shining through. The palate is fresh and bright, a chorus of soft sweet vanilla and cracked pepper rolls through to a malty grassy finish.
