|  | | Silky smooth and honeyed on the nose with mellow oaky tones and hints of candied orange peel. The Balvenie Thirty has great depth with rich dark chocolate, hints of plum, marzipan and caramelised pear. An exceptionally smooth and warming finish with gentle spice and lingering sweetness.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | The flagship variant of the Highland Park range was first released in April 2005. By its very nature, this whisky is only available in limited quantities. It is, however, worth seeking out as the ultimate expression of the distillery’s character.
Colour: Rich, Coppery amber
Bouquet: Spicy, aromatic, nutmeg and darkest chocolate
Palate: Force 9 Flavour, toffee, dark chocolate orange and Hobbister Hill peat
Finish: Rich, long, smokey and surprisingly sweet
Highland Park 30 Year Old merits time and attention. It has spent 30 years maturing so treat it with respect; you’ll discover the characteristic fudge sweetness together with complex aromatic spices and dark chocolate orange. It has a drying finish, leaving a gentle smokey flavour and a mildly salty aftertaste – the result of 30 years aging in the Orkney sea spray.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | Quintessentially of classic Macallan pedigree, The Macallan 30 Years Old reveals hints of citrus orange and aromatic resin drawn from the enveloping depths of The Macallan's bespoke oak sherry casks from Spain. In these casks the luscious spirit has quietly matured, sheltered from the tumultuous events of the passing decades.
Unveiling its richness to the full, The Macallan 30 Years Old bears comforting proof, if yet more were needed, of The Macallan's legendary devotion to single malt of the very highest quality.
Distinctively presented in an eye-catching and attractive blue wooden box, adding allure to the already exceptional whisky appeal.

| | |  | | | | |  | | Situated on the west coast, between Caledonian and Crinan Canals, Oban is known as the "Gateway to the Isles". It is primarily a fishing village, but it also serves as a ferry departure for the Isle of Mull and the Isle of Jura, homes of several other distilleries. Campbeltown can be reached within a long days drive down the Mull of Kintyre. So, with all of this in mind, how do we charaterize this malt? Island? Campbletown? Well, it is a Highland malt just becuase it is NOT on an island and too far from Campbeltown to be in that category.
Oban was more or less a hamlet back in the late 18th Century before it was greatly emhance by the settling of 2 brothers called Stevenson. The Brothers were involved in slate quarrying, housebuilding, and shipbuilding, and, in 1794, Hugh Stevenson built the the Oban Distillery. Oban was operated under Stevenson until 1866 when it was bought by Peter Curnstie. It was then acquired by Walter Higgin in 1883 and rebuilt.
By the late 1800's, Oban was a busy port which shipped wool, whisky, slate, and kelp to Liverpool and Glasgow. A new era of prosperity was also brought to Oban via the railway and tourism. In 1898, Alexander Edward, who also owned Aultmore Distillery, bought out Higgin. In it's first year of operation, it suffered major losses when a major blending company, Pattison's of Leith, went under.
In 1923, Oban was sold to Dewars and joined DCL with that company in 1925. It fell silent from 1931 until 1937 and again from 1969 to 1972 when a new still house was built.
Presented here is a 1969 malt among the last produced at the old distillery. Truly a piece of history.
