- This complex whisky was first blended in 1983 as a Premium 12yo Blend for the USA, using over 40 different malts and grains all of which had been distilled in 1971
- The balance of the spirit from the original Blend was refilled into 11 ex-Oloroso Sherry Butts, where it was left to age for a further nine years before a small volume was siphoned off and bottled as a 21yo Blend
- After bottling, the balance of spirit was refilled once more, this time into nine ex-American Oak Barrels. The casks were then returned to an old traditional dunnage maturation warehouse where they lay for a further 24 years, during which time they were acquired by TLD. To all extents and purposes this can be classed as a ‘Triple Matured’ Blend which is very rare and probably unique for such an old whisky.
It was bottled as a 45-year-old whisky.
