Millburn 23y/o 1981 Jack Wiebers Old Train Line 61.5%ABV 15ml/30ml

Very rare historic whisky from Millburn the now dead distillery. This was bottled in 2004 by Lars-Goran Wiebers, aka "Jack." He is the proprietor of the renowned Jack Wiebers Whisky World retailer in Germany, established in 1996. Since then Jack Wieber's has released well over a thousand indie bottlings so is among the largest indie bottlers outside of Scotland

Millburn was the oldest of the three distilleries based in Inverness, the others being Glen Mhor and Glen Albyn, all of which closed within two years of each other, Millburn was the last, in 1985. Millburn was a farm distillery on the River Millburn and was illegally distilling untill it received a licence in 1805 - after a rebuild the distillery started producing its first legal spirit in 1807. The distillery was brought to prominence under the ownership of the Haig family at the end of the 19th century. It eventually passed to Diageo and was a victim of the cull of distilleries during the oversupply bust of the 1980's. Never officially bottled in its time, the only distillery bottlings are within the Rare Malts Selection, and elusive independent releases like this are incredibly sought after. The last known cask of Millburn was bottled by Gordon and MacPhail in 2015 so getting to try this whisky is getting increasingly difficult and it is likely that no casks remain.
