Corti Brothers Old & Rare Single Malt Collection (15) Ardbeg-1975-11 year old (1) Bottled by Duthie & Co. Aberdeen. Good label. into neck. 750ml. Single Malt. 86 U.S. Proof. "... it hasn't got that very peculiar herbal and tarry fruitiness that these Arbegs tended to develop after more years in wood, and I wouldn't say it's extremely complex spirit, but then again, only 11 years." (5 stars-Whiskyfun) Blair Atholl-1967 (1) Bottled 1983. Selected by Narsai M. David. Bottled by Duthie & Co. Aberdeen. Good label. top shoulder. 750ml. Single Malt. 92 U.S. Proof. Balmenach-Glenlivet-1962 (1) Bottled 1983. Selected by Narsai M. David. Bottled by Duthie & Co. Aberdeen. Good label. top shoulder. 750ml. Single Malt. 92 U.S. Proof. Caol Ila-1967 (1) Bottled 1983. Selected by Narsai M. David. Bottled by Duthie & Co. Aberdeen. Good label. top shoulder. 750ml. Single Malt. 92 U.S. Proof. "...Mouth: oh wait, no no no! This is vibrant, lively, sharp, and pretty much alive! It's rather herbal, I'd say, with some absinth, genepy, other weirdish herbal liqueurs and spirits, a lot of aniseed, then oils and tart green fruits. Limes aplenty, then smoked salmon, smoked haddock and, yes, caviar. Caviar in a bottle! Smoked caviar" (5 stars-Whiskyfun) Glenkinchie-1966-20 year old (1) Bottled 1986. Bottled by Duthie & Co. Aberdeen. Good label, lightly scuffed. into neck. 750ml. Single Malt. 86 U.S. Proof. "...Waxy lemons and oranges, drops of brine, old rum, green tea again, chamomile tea, cider apples and green pears, a little tobacco, a smokiness... What's really interesting is this saltiness. Has this barrel been aged at Lagavulin? Finish: quite long, on the same aromas, for a long time. The aftertaste is a notch drying, but that's cool." (5 stars-Whiskyfun) Glenfarclas-1969-8 year old (1) Bottled 1978. Bottled and Shipped by Averys, Bistrol. Good label. top shoulder. 750ml. Single Malt. 86.8 Proof. "... I'd call this baby an intellectual whisky. The more you wait, the more it gets kind of Dostoievskian, in a way. I fact, this old young Glenfarclas is fighting with you, and I'm not sure you'll win."

"...Good solid body. Finish: long, acrid, ashy and grassy. This feeling of ink and pepper again in the aftertaste. " (4 stars-Whiskyfun) Highland Park-1966-12 year old (1) Bottled 1978. Bottled and Shipped by Averys, Bistrol. Good label. top shoulder. 750ml. Single Malt. 86.8 Proof. ".. .fantastic touches of grapefruits and limes. Well the parts aren't that stupendous, but the whole is. Perfect fullness and oneness. Finish: long, very narrow, precise, smoky and mineral. The aftertaste is rather earthier, and smokier as well." (5 stars-Whiskyfun) Highland Park-1963-15 year old (1) Bottled 1978. Bottled and Shipped by Averys, Bistrol. Good label with some staining. top shoulder. 750ml. Single Malt. 86.8 Proof. "...That was another summer of love in California! Mouth: amen. Bigger than the nose suggested, and pretty unusual. There are flavours that are rarely to be seen in whisky, such as various vegetable soups (really), some lovely bitter nuts, or the insides of fruit stones, some kind of salty and maritime things." (5 stars-Whiskyfun) Jura-1966-20 year old (1) Bottled 1986. Bottled by Duthie & Co. Aberdeen. Good label, lightly tattered at bottom left section. top shoulder. 750ml. Single Malt. 86 U.S. Proof.
