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!"

This 1994 vintage Caperdonich was bottled after 30 years in a First Fill Sherry Hogshead at 51.2%. Caperdonich is a closed distillery, once called Glen Grant No.2, hence the name: Gone Grant. 89.21pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"Whiskyland Chapter 18 takes place in one of Whiskyland's many hybrid library bars. In fact, no one is particularly sure whether they are bars with large reading selections, or libraries that serve drinks. It doesn't do to ponder these unanswerable questions too deeply. Best to just pour a generous measure of this rather sublime 1994 'Gone Grant' single malt that underwent a 4 year secondary maturation in a fresh sherry hogshead, select something intellectually nourishing to read, and occasionally glance out of the window at the Whiskyland night sky."

Producer Description
"Love exists in Whiskyland! Indeed, the two Glen Grants that make up Whiskyland Chapter Twenty Two, couldn't keep their staves off each other. This refill barrel and 1st fill sherry hogshead, though they weren't born in the same year, manage to get along like a warehouse on fire. Though they only met recently, they're looking forward to a lifetime of marriage and adventure in glass together. A luscious pairing, bottled without reduction, from a distillery we all seem to love."

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."

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..."
