I see that it is a mothballed distillery that has been revived only in 2008
- that is why no younger iterations are available, just old stock being
released. Quite common nowadays, as single malt gains in popularity and
market share, many private consortia of investors are taking over
mothballed distilleries as long as there is old stock available to seed the
market while the new batches mature - otherwise you have a 10 year startup
time!
Cheers
