This highly collectable 1970 vintage Millburn is part of Silvano Samaroli's first ever solo series of bottlings. It is rather akwardly titled 'The Never Bottled Top Quality Whisky' series, however is better known as the Flowers range. The bottlings all have hand-drawn labels by Samaroli himself, 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. The distillery was brought to prominence under the ownership of the Haig family at the end of the 19th century, but was always a small operation. 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. Bottle no 19 of only 300.
