Royal Brackla 1983-1997, 57.5% – Scott’s Selection
Leave it to Scott’s Selection to hide almost all information about a whisky by not putting it on their label. “Matured in oakwood casks”. Sure, you mean you didn’t break the law. That’s an achievement… Anyway, old whisky from a … Continue reading

Pure Kentucky 17, 1983-2000, Batch 00-70, 53.5%
A very old bourbon indeed, both in the way that it is 17 years old, which is very old for an American whisky, and that it was distilled 40 years ago. Bottled before we even had Euros. I got a … Continue reading

Port Ellen 27, 1983-2010, Refill Butt 517, 59% – Signatory Vintage

Vintage Bourbon 17, 1983-2000, 43%
Vintage Bourbon is both a description and a brand name. It also is something I’ve been eyeballing in auctions for years but prices are fairly insane. Of course, any old whisky and especially older bottlings of old whisky are insanely … Continue reading

Coleburn 1983-1998, 15yo, 43% – Signatory Vintage
Coleburn is one of those obscure Speyside distilleries that hasn’t gotten very popular even though it’s closed and every bottle from the place is limited. That has worked for almost all other distilleries, but this one. So, when I got … Continue reading

Glenburgie 1983-2012, 28yo, 54.3% – Signatory Cask Strength for The Nectar
Another wee bottle share I did a little while ago. There are a couple of groups on Facebook in which you can sell your own bottles and this one popped up in there a little while ago. I decided to … Continue reading

Caol Ila 27, 1983-2011, 53.1% – Whiskybroker.co.uk
This is one of those samples of which I had totally forgotten it existed. Recently when we moved some furniture around I had to shift some boxes and decided to go through a bunch of samples. This is one of … Continue reading

Caol Ila 25, 1983-2008, 53.2% – Bladnoch Forum
It’s been a while again, but this one came from my own collection. Came, past tense, since I finished the bottle over the weekend. That also means that the review came from the tail end of the bottle, which makes … Continue reading
