We know little of the two component whiskies in this bottling, only that they were blends of both single malt and single grain whiskies that had been blended at quite young ages, then put back into cask and left to age. But the provenance wasn’t really important, because each parcel had matured into something extraordinary in flavour, and the combination resulted in something more compelling with the "antique" character that lovers of old whiskies seek out.
