9.5% - 1997 - Refill ex-Bourbon Barrel - 90.58pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"The Spirit Sprites are hard at work in Whiskyland Chapter Thirteen, as a beautiful, 26 year old single refill barrel of the lost Imperial Distillery winds its way into view from the shadows. This is a delicate and elegant old single cask with a naturally low cask strength, dominated by waxes, oils, cedar wood, camphor and delicate notes of citrus fruits and white flowers. Classical Imperial! Which is why those diligent Spirit Sprites are fluttering about it, trying to capture something of that noble spirit before the light burns out for good..."

This 1991 vintage Rosebank has been bottled as a part of the Recollection Series 3 at 51.2% after 32 years in a First Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel.
Producer Description
"The history of Rosebank Distillery has been directly linked with the Forth & Clyde canal which sits in its shadow. The waterway linked Scotland’s west and east coasts, and therefore its two main cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh. A distillery called Rosebank was operating as early as 1817. From 1840, under the ownership of the Rankine family, Rosebank prospered. The canal, however, became neglected and the distillery eventually closed its doors in 1993. It was reopened under new ownership to great fanfare in 2024. This release, a lost work of art, is one of the oldest and rarest Rosebank single malts ever released."

This Gordon & MacPhail Recollection Series 3 bottling of North Port (aka Brechin) is a 1981 vintage, bottled at 50.9% after maturing 42 years in Refill American Hogshead.
Producer Description
"Single malts featuring the distillery’s original name, Brechin Distillery, are vanishingly rare. Founded in 1820 near Scotland’s east coast by three brothers, David, John and Alexander Guthrie, the distillery stood half a mile from the River Esk. It remained in family ownership for over a century, renamed North Port Distillery, before new owners closed its doors in 1928. It reopened after the Second World War only to fall silent again in 1983, with the site demolished in 1994. Whisky writer, Michael Jackson, described its spirit as ‘dry and fruity’ and this whisky, matured in a Gordon & MacPhail cask, is a forgotten masterpiece that revives the spirit of a bygone age."

44.3% - 1990 - First Fill Sherry Hogshead - 88.65ts Whiskybase
Producer Description: "There are some very lonely casks in Whiskyland... casks like this sherry hogshead of 35 year old Pittyvaich 1990: a lonesome wee dude! His distillery is closed and most of his chums and siblings are gone, scattered to the winds and whims of time. Thankfully, the Spirit Sprites are constantly at work in Whiskyland, searching out these lost wee wooden souls; guiding them with their light to life of company and good cheer in the great indie bottling hall in the sky. Just as well really, this particular cask is lusciously dark, sultry and full of soft, plummy dark fruits and earthy richness. An unusual sherried example of Pittyvaich and a beautiful old dram, full stop!"

Bottled as part of Gordon & MacPhail's Recollection Series 3, this 1990 vintage Imperial was bottled after 33 years in a Refill American Hogshead at 57.2%. 92pts Whisky Fun
Producer Description
"Built by Thomas MacKenzie in 1897 – the year of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee – Imperial Distillery was constructed in the heart of Speyside on a grand scale, the maltings capped by a cast iron crown. Mothballed in 1899, it reopened in 1919, fell silent for another 30 years then opened again, supplying spirit for blended whisky, only to close for the last time in 1998. In 2013, the buildings were demolished and Dalmunach Distillery now stands on the site. Single malt whiskies featuring the Imperial Distillery name are the epitome of rare. Their reputation continues to grow and this forgotten masterpiece was matured in a Gordon & MacPhail cask for more than three decades."
