Bottled 1970s by Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail. 75cl. 26 2\/3 Fl Ozs. 100 Proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistilled at Talisker in 1957 and bottled by Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail during the 1970s at the historical 100 Imperial Proof (57.1% ABV), this is an exceptionally rare example from one of Scotland's most celebrated island distilleries. Bottlings of Talisker from the 1950s are becoming incredibly rare, particularly licensed releases from Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail's iconic black label with golden eagle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis whisky was distilled just three years before the devastating 1960 fire that destroyed much of Talisker Distillery. As a result, it represents spirit produced at the original distillery, before its rebuilding and subsequent changes to production. At the time, Talisker was still floor malting its own barley, producing a robust, maritime spirit that became a hallmark of the distillery's most revered early vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGordon \u0026amp; MacPhail played a pioneering role in the history of single malt Scotch, establishing a reputation for maturing and bottling individual distillery releases long before official bottlings became commonplace. Their historic 100 Imperial Proof (57.1% ABV) bottlings were introduced to showcase whisky with greater body and intensity than the lower bottling strengths typical of the era, and today these 100 Proof Taliskers rank amongst the company's most iconic and sought-after releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58489914720637,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Talisker 1957 - Gordon \u0026 MacPhail - 1970s - 100 Proof-Lot Id:0526-343","offer_id":58489914786173,"sku":"0526-343","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/0526-343-1_aff025c0-ee51-486d-9dcb-169c75692827.jpg?v=1785960604","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/talisker-1957-gordon-macphail-1970s-100-proof-lot-id-0526-343","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
