Edinburgh-based independent bottler Rare Find has launched The Long Game, a collection of three single cask whiskies comprising a 1990 36-year-old Macallan, a 1988 38-year-old Tormore and a 1991 34-year-old Deanston. The trio spans more than three decades of maturation and will be available from selected Rare Find stockists from November 6, 2026.
The collection celebrates provenance, cask influence and the character that emerges over extended periods in wood.
“Whiskies of this age demand the right cask and the right decisions over decades of maturation,” said James Zorab of Rare Find. “The Macallan, Tormore and Deanston each tell a very different story, from the long influence of refill sherry oak to the contrasting character of 1st fill oloroso and 2nd fill PX.”

READ THE STORYEach whisky has followed a distinct maturation path. The Macallan 36-Year-Old was matured in a refill sherry butt and is limited to just 18 bottles.
Zorab added: “What connects them is the quality of the whisky after more than three decades in cask. These are not releases where age alone does the talking. Each has earned its place in this marque collection, and the opportunity to bottle whiskies of this calibre is becoming increasingly rare.”
The Tormore 38-Year-Old was finished in a first-fill oloroso sherry barrique, with an outturn of 198 bottles.

Meanwhile, the Deanston 34-Year-Old spent its entire life in a second-fill Pedro Ximénez butt, yielding 72 bottles.
In total, the three whiskies amount to just 288 bottles across the full collection. Together, they represent more than a century of maturation.
Rare Find said the selection reflects more than age alone, pointing to the quality of the spirit and the individual maturation histories of each cask.
Alongside The Long Game, Rare Find will release a Highland Park 1989 vintage, finished in a refill port octave, exclusively to members of the Rare Find Vault. The release has an outturn of just 67 bottles.
The bottler described the Vault as a way to give its member community access to whiskies that may never reach the wider market.
The Highland Park 1989 vintage will be available to pre-order exclusively to Rare Find Vault members from October 30, 2026.
