Beacon Spirits Release No. 3 (1975–2016) is a tiny-outturn Speyside single malt bottled under the Beacon Spirits label, with the distillery undisclosed on the front label. Distilled in 1975 and bottled in 2016, it’s a mature, old-school Speyside profile presented at 46.9% ABV — and with just 54 bottles released, scarcity is the headline here.

Tasting Notes (typical profile for mature 1970s Speyside malt)
Nose: Honeyed malt, dried orchard fruit, soft citrus oils and polished oak, with a gentle waxy note.
Palate: Smooth and layered — toffee, baked apple, light spice and a touch of nuttiness, with mature oak providing structure.
Finish: Long, warming and slightly drying, with lingering sweet oak, fruit and gentle spice.

Why This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On
- 54-bottle outturn makes this a genuine scarcity piece, even before you factor in the 1975 distillation year.
- Mature Speyside single malt from the 1970s is increasingly sought-after for its elegant, “old style” profile and collectability.
- 46.9% ABV is a sweet spot for older whisky: enough strength to carry flavour, without overwhelming the mature character.
