The Age of Change

A Rare Find Collection | Distillers’ One of One Auction

Celebrating 202 Years of the 1823 Excise Act - From outlawed craft to legendary legacy, The Age of Change commemorates the transformative 1823 Excise Act—the law that legitimized Scotch whisky and reshaped its future.

This exclusive collection features three extraordinary Rare Find whiskies, each representing a pivotal chapter in whisky history.

Miltonduff 1981 | 43 Years Old

Once an illicit distillery known as Milton, it became Miltonduff after the Duff family’s acquisition. Licensed in 1824, just one year after the Excise Act, this expression captures the moment Scotch whisky stepped into legality.

Littlemill 1990 | 34 Years Old

From the now-lost Littlemill distillery in West Dumbartonshire, this bottling honours Jane Macgregor—believed to be one of Scotland’s first female distillers and the first licensee post-Act. A rare tribute to pioneering spirit.

Springbank 1992 | 32 Years Old

Founded five years after the Act, Springbank epitomizes Campbeltown’s rise as a whisky capital. Revered for its traditional methods, this expression reflects enduring craftsmanship and cult admiration.

Design & Craftsmanship

Conceptualized by Gary Doherty (Pocket Rocket Creative) and handcrafted by Jo Downs, the collection celebrates the vital role of wood in whisky maturation. Each bottle is housed in a bespoke oak stave casing, meticulously constructed by Jonny Kane of Gopherwood—an embodiment of tradition and artistry. One Legacy. Three Icons. A Historic Transformation.
