A 42-year-old Glencraig 1976, part of an extraordinary series of releases bottled in 2018 by Signatory Vintage to celebrate the company's 30th Anniversary. Glencraig was an experimental single malt whisky produced on Lomond stills at Glenburgie between 1958-1981 and casks are very rare now as most of the stock was intended only as blending malt for Ballantine's.
This 1976 Glencraig aged for 42 years in ex-bourbon cask #4283 before being bottled at its natural cask strength of 42%, yielding just 176 bottles. Signatory's 30th Anniversary bottlings are presented in a black lacquer box with two Signatory Vintage branded Glencairn glasses.

Admittedly, I haven't tried every whisky in the world. I like the Laphroaig, peaty and uncompromising end of the single malt scale. This is my current favourite. A brutal and beautiful drink. Harsh and refined; sour and sweet. Dangerously tasty. A real find for me, this one.
I acquired mine after someone had poured it away, and used the empty as a candle holder. Despite imbibing this Glenrothes from a drain, it was decent. 57.1% seemed to remove any of the drain ickiness. It has also somewhat dulled the pain I'm still in from recently trapping my, ahem, in my zipper.
