Cuvée presentation

To celebrate the 20th edition of the Whisky Live Paris as well as the launch of the French edition of the Whisky Magazine in 2004, La Maison & Velier offers an exclusive collection of spirits from its cellars in magnum format. This wonderful series joins 40 unique and exciting bottlings of whiskies and rums selected from all four corners of the world, as well as a remarkable selection of French malts and spirits. Called the Fireworks Collection, this range is available for sale on the auction site Fine Spirits Auction (from 28/09/2024 to 04/10/2024). Each bottle, numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, displays a unique label reinterpreting the famous fireworks illustrations created by the Japanese artist Hirayama in 1880.

Founded in 1797, the Glen Garioch distillery stopped producing in 1968. Purchased by Stanley P. Morrison Ltd in 1970, it started distilling again in 1973. Equipped with three alembics in the shape of an onion, Glen Garioch was the first distillery to heat its stills with gas. Owned by Beam Suntory since 1994, it was closed for a short period between 1995 and 1997. Closed in 1996, its three malting areas have been operational again since March 2022. Generous, this version boasts an earthy character whose naturalness is matched only by its authenticity.

The distillery Glen Garioch

Scotland, Highlands. Distillery operational. Owner: Beam - Suntory

The second distillery to have joined the Stanley P Morrison Ltd team (which had owned Bowmore since 1963) in 1970, Glen Garioch is a leading name in the world of collectible single malts. This renown was the work of Stanley P Morrison, who, in the late 1970s, offered its distributors outstanding limited editions, including Glen Garioch 1971, produced for Samaroli. In the same time period, an 8 year old version was also released in a stocky, brown bottle. Then, in the mid-80s, several 21 year old versions from 1965 were released in various sherry and bourbon cask bottlings, some cask strength. It would not, however, be until the arrival in 1994 of the Japanese company Suntory, who bought Morrison Bowmore, that things would really pick up, notably with the Individual Cask Bottling range and the two exceptional vintages 1968 and 1970.
