Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky, has released two very special whiskies as part of their ‘Rarest of the Rare’ portfolio.
Dating back to 1969, the launch of a Kinclaith 51-year-old and Caperdonich 50-year-old form part of a collection of rare whisky casks from closed distilleries, that Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky has matured in their warehouse for half a century.
Both whiskies have notable histories; Kinclaith’s transitory existence ended in 1975 and production of Caperdonich from Rothes finished in 2002.
Rarely released, it’s the first time that the Aberdeenshire bottler has launched drams dating back over 50 years.
A limited release of less than 100 handcrafted glass decanters is available of each whisky worldwide. The bottles will be individually numbered and engraved as well as housed in a lockable framed box, inside a brushed stainless steel carry case.
Commenting on the launch, Chairman Euan Shand, said; “I feel it is a privilege to be the custodian of these stunning rare casks. Originally filled back in 1969 it’s the start of an exciting chapter at Duncan Taylor as we plan to release a selection of rare malts from our portfolio over time.”
