- A 57 Year Old Strathisla, the oldest ever released (only 61 bottles released)
Each is priced, are you ready for this, around $10,000. Not surprising at all, given the extreme rarity and age of this collection of Scotch. When we first reported on it back in October, we noted at the time that the four releases from Gordon & MacPhail’s Private Collection Ultra label were not just unique for their time in barrel, but that they were also essentially pieces of art. According to those behind them, each whisky is presented
in beautifully-designed decanters, individually numbered, with the whisky details engraved and in-filled with silver colour. A silver-plated neck collar and stopper adorns each decanter.
Wood, metal and glass are combined in a striking and innovative way to protect and display the whisky; the decanter nestles in a glass-bottomed pack, revealing a hint of the whisky colour.
A series of four books by whisky writer Jonny McCormick, one for each of the whiskies, tells the story of Gordon & MacPhail and the whisky and regales the reader with tales of origins and ancestry, of people, place and belonging.
I’ve embedded below a brochure I came across from one Classic Imports out of Massachusetts for your consideration. It tells more detail about each of these releases.
