MO ÒR means “My Gold” in Gaelic. The whiskies which feature in the collection are all bottlings from a single cask, always un-chillfiltered with its natural colour preserved and every bottle is individually numbered. The goal behind the MO ÒR collection is to strive to include a cask of every distillery found in Scotland. 46% ABV / 50cl

Connoisseurs Choice is one of the most easily recognised ranges from the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail. This range was launched back in the 1960s, a period where most malts were used in blends so the was quite an unusual move for the company. But the range has proved to be a hit for over 35 years.

Kinclaith is one of the rarest malts, due to the very short life of the distillery. It was founded in 1957 and closed only 18 years later in 1975. As Kinclaith was built to supply the single malt for the famous blend Long John, there was never any official release of Kinclaith. Although, we can thank the independent bottlers giving us the opportunity to taste this very scarce whisky
