FLASH NEWS
A suspected fake is in circulation .
Check your Glen Mhor
1979, 22yo.
The box is usually the original one
stating the correct ABV 61%,
and 70cl.
The bottom of the bottle is correctly
embossed as a 70cl bottle.
However, the bottle label states ABV 61.02%
AND the volume is printed as 75cl !!!
Please let me know if you have such a
version in your collection.

Release policy.
Initially the Rare MaltS series was intended for the
Tax Free markets around the Globe but later on became available through
up-market retail shops too.
The release policy were at the beginning (1995) two
annual releases per year, Spring (marked 1) and Autumn (marked 2). However,
some years there seems to have been intermediate releases as well
. These are not identified in the tables and may appear as either Spring or Autumn releases.
Later, this policy became abandoned and limited to one per annum only.
For these years the season markings are
entered as 1.
Releases may have occurred at different time at different markets. The ones
used in the table are the
Since
1997 a
note has been added consisting of month and year, in small print. This is the BOTTLING
month which does not necessarily coincide with the official release month. For
example; all versions of
the 2004 release, which was officially released in October (
Bottling practice.
In the early days some versions were bottled per individual cask, hence, this
is one reason why different ABV% from the same release occurs.
A typical example is the Brora 1972/22yo from the 1995/1 release. This one was
released in five different ABV%.
This
practice is the primary cause for the occurrence of different ABV% within the same
release.
Today, several casks (minimum ten) are normalised (vatted) to usually yield up
to circa 5.000
numbered bottles per batch.
The upper limit per batch may however from time to time be higher than 5.000
bottles depending of number and type of casks that went into the normalising. More than one
such batch may be released at the same release occasion. This is the second
source for ABV%
differences within the same release.
The
highest number of bottles per release known to me is approx 12.000+ bottles. It
has occurred in some rare cases.
Numbering systems.
Each bottle is sequence numbered, per batch. If two or more batches were
released at the same occasion then each batch
carries its own sequence number series.
Earlier versions, the first year, does however lack such sequence numbers.. Instead, there is a label difference saying
‘Limited bottling’ on these versions. All others carries
the text ‘Limited edition’.
Further,
a sequence number series usually ends at 5-6.000, however, in some cases the series
is stretched above 12.000. In these cases it seems that half of the release got
‘European labels’ and the other half ‘
Bottle
sizes.
Several bottle sizes have been/are used:
200ml, used for two separate five-packs, one issued 1995 another 1996.
700ml, this is the most frequent size and used on all non North American
markets.
750ml, this is the size used on the North American markets.
Several 750ml versions have, at various occasion, been
re-exported to European markets.
N.B. All bottle sizes are not unique,
meaning a given release with a given ABV% may be divided as different bottle
sizes.
This seems to have been the case with the first 5-pack release, and partly the
second too (Caol Ila, Glendullan).
The
award winning Glenury Royal 1971/23yo ABV 61.3%, comes in two sizes 700 and 750 ml.
Of
the five versions in
Clynelish
and Glenlochy does exist in 750ml with Euro label and may exist with US label too.
Of the five versions in
Brora,
Dailuaine and Teaninch may
exist in 750ml with Euro label as well as with US label too.
The
assumed ones are not listed in Table 3 due to lack of evidence.
Packaging.
Usually a dark blue paper box.
Older
boxes and bottles are marked ‘Produce of
From
the 2002 release, and further on, the ABV% is printed within the yellow
field on the dark blue box .
Previously
this information was given on a box sticker or not given at all on the box.
Some versions comes 'naked', e.g. no traditional dark blue cardboard box at
all.
The ones I believe as being released naked are marked ‘None' in the tables, however, in some
cases my box my simply
have been lost.
Where this is
known ‘None’ is put behind brackets
‘(None)’.
A
general conclusion may
be drawn ; B297 and US-Label versions are always lacking a box.
The two five-packs (5x200ml) comes in a handy
easy-to-carry card board box.
Then there are 're-packed' wooden box versions (marked
WOOD and listed in a separate table). They are NOT special versions but simply
stems from normal releases were the cardboard box have
been replaced with a wooden one.
The source for the wooden boxes is the large Dutch retail chain Gall
& Gall. They also run an auction firm. Several wooden boxes have surfaced
through their auction firm. Gall & Gall buys regular issued RM versions
from UDV and then
repack the bottles in nice and exclusive wooden boxes. So these bottles are
'package' versions and not content versions. They were made between 1998 and
1999 and earmarked for the Dutch market. It seems that this was an one-time action that probably will not be repeated. The
known releases are listed below. There may be more versions in existence that
are hold back for future releases at their auctions.
ABV%.
The ABV% is either the individual cask's strength or the average of a normalised
(vatted) batch. Such batch may consist of
at
least five casks.
The ABV% is usually
printed as the standard European ABV% but some
times with the
Number
of distilleries and versions issued.
At Oct 1, 2004 thirty-six distilleries have been released.
A total of 121 versions
have been identified.
Another
12 belongs to the unofficial wooden box series.
These
are the cannibalized versions were the original blue paper box have been
replaced with a wooden box.
Counting
Number of versions released.
Distillery, Year of distillation, Age, ABV%, Bottle size and Package (cardboard or wooden box)
plus label versions are the version qualifiers.
For the time being (Feb 2005) not all versions are fully documented. Hence, the
table below is divided i three groups.
The first group contains all versions that are in my possession.
The second group contains versions, reported in writing to me by collectors. I
am lacking photographic evidence for some
of these. However, each entry has been reported from at least two independent
sources.
Third group contains versions reported to me as 2nd hand information or from
single source and, hence, is doubtful. This list is an
'observations list'. Entries will over time either be deleted or elevated to
List 1 or 2.

A
major difference
is found on bottles from the first release i n 1995.
These versions lack sequence numbers and the front labels red bottom line says ‘Limited bottling’ instead
of the usual ‘Limited edition’.
The versions in question are Dallas Dhu (2 from 1970/24), Millburn (2 from 1975/18), St
Magdalene (2 from 1970/23) and
Brora (5 from 1972/22).
There is an inconsistency between the way volume figures are printed on the
dark blue boxes and on the bottle labels.
Box volume info is printed either as 0,75L/75cl/750ml OR 75cl/750ml OR
70cl/700ml..
Bottle labels are always printed simply as 70cl OR 75cl.
However
there are some known exceptions where the usual volume data on the bottle label
75cl is replaced with 750ml and they are:
Brora 1975/20-59.1%
Caol Ila 1975/20-61,12%
Clynelish
1972/22-58.64%
Clynelish

There may be others.
As far as I know; all these bottle label and box variations are of singular
type. Meaning there are no secondary versions.
***
US
Label versions.
Further, there are bottle label versions of multiple type.
Meaning
bottles from the same release may have one standard (primary) and one secondary
label version.
At
least seven such
examples are known to me. There may be others. It seems that this occurred for one
release only.
It is the Brora 1975/20-59.1% which comes in
two label versions, one with simply the ABV% printed (59.1%) in standard
fashion and another label with BOTH the ABV% (59.1%) and the US Proof value
(118.2 proof) printed.
And
the Caol Ila 1975/20-61,12% which comes
in two label versions, one with simply the ABV% printed (61.12%) in standard
fashion and another label with BOTH
the ABV% (61.12%) and the US Proof value (122.2 proof) printed.
And
the Dailuaine 1972/22-60,92% which comes in two label versions, one
with simply the ABV% printed (60,92%) in standard fashion and another label
with BOTH the ABV% (60,92%) and the US Proof value (121.8 proof) printed.
And
the Glendullan 1972/23-62.43% which comes in two label
versions, one with simply the ABV% printed (62,43%) in standard fashion and
another label with BOTH the ABV% (62,43%) and the US Proof value (124,8 proof)
printed.
And
the Mortlach 1972/22-65.3% which comes in two label
versions, one with simply the ABV% printed (65,3%) in standard fashion and
another label with BOTH the ABV% (65,3%) and the US Proof value (130.6 proof)
printed.
And
the North Port Brechin 1971/23-65.3% which comes in two label
versions, one with simply the ABV% printed (65.3%) in standard fashion and
another label with BOTH the ABV% (65.3%) and the US Proof value (109.4 proof)
printed.
And
the Teaninich 1972/23-64,95% which comes in two label versions, one
with simply the ABV% printed (64,95%) in standard fashion and another label
with BOTH the ABV% (64,95%) and the US Proof value (129.9 proof) printed.
These, secondary, variations, are marked US-LBL in the tables. They have no
boxes and volume is printed as 750ml.
NB
The Glenlochy 1969/25 62.08 750ml, no box, carries an US-label, hence, there may be
a standard (primary, Euro label ) version in existence for this one as well.
NB
The Clynelish 1972/22 58.64 750ml, no box, carries an US-label, hence, there may be
a standard (primary, Euro label) version in existence for this one as well.
These
two are not listed in Table 3 due to lack of evidence..
***
B297
code versions.
Some
of the labels on the very early releases (1995)carries
a quadrate with the code B297
inscribed.
It
is my belief that this code is a ‘code of origin’ demanded by South
African authorities, and, hence they were bottled for the RSA market too.
It
seems to
have occurred at one release occasion only.
These
versions are without boxes and have volume data printed as 750ml.
The
versions marked
with B297 in the tables and are so far:
Clynelish
1972/23-57%
Glenlochy
1969/26-58.8%
Linkwood 1972/23-58.4%
Mortlach
1972/23-59.4%
The
odd thing with this series is that the Mortlach exist
in another version
without the B297 code, with box , and volume printed as 75cl,
hence, there may be standard (primary) versions in existence of the other three
as well. These three are not listed in Table 2 or 3 due to lack of evidence.
Other
label questions.
A production
code is printed on the back of the bottles. It is sometimes covered by the back
label but is visible
through the glass.
This
code does not appear s on bottlings before 1998.
A
symbol describing ‘UK Units’ inscribed in bottle symbol was
recently added to the
back label. The reason for this is n an attempt to raise the
awareness of how much alcohol people are actually drinking. Hence, the
A
8
grams is approximately 1 cl.
To
calculate the number of units/standard drinks in a bottle, multiply its ABV% by
the size of the bottle in litres (typically 0.7).
Example a 0,7l
bottle of 60% ABV yields 60 x 0,7 or 42
units/standard drinks.
For
some of the
St. Magdalene, the T in
on
the top of a dot.
Age
calculation.
Age
statement for
RM is always calculated as a function of Year of distillation minus Year of
bottling MINUS 1.
Hence,
bottling always occurred in the year calculated as Year of distillation, plus
Age statement, plus 1.
Earlier
bottlings lacks information concerning bottling Month and Year.
