It’s been a good year for sourcing ridiculously rare parcels of extraordinary whisky.
Two different companies approached us recently with similar stories: they each had several casks of Blended Scotch that had been blended at quite young ages, then not required and put back into cask and left to age. One parcel was 33 years-old and the other was...well, I’m afraid I can’t tell you. (By telling you the age of the other parcel, some might argue we are in violation of the UK’s
Scotch Whisky Regulations - citation 2009 No. 2890. But that’s another story.)
