Distilled in a single year (1996), so the available batch is inherently finite.

Released as 43, a named edition rather than part of the standard core range.
Independent bottling
An independent bottling by gordonmacphail, typically produced in far smaller numbers than an official distillery release.
These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
