Highland Park and Macallan each have a few bottles that are exclusive to travel retail. I recently got myself the Macallan Whisky Makers editition for £70 and a Highland Park 1994 for £45 which are both excellent.
There is the Highland Park 1973 travel retail exclusive which i havent tried unfortunately, but that is priced at £600+ i think |

| My best travel retail-only buy has been the Glenlivet 12 First Fill. It's excellent, better than the standard Glenlivet 12 in my opinion. |

| Macallan have a few other duty free exclusive bottle the Macallan Oscuro which is not cheap but a superb whisky, highly recommend it. The Macallan Select Oak was OK. The Macallan Estate Reserve is a mix of sherry and bourbon casks, pretty good but doesnt come close to the standard Mac 18 which is quite a bit cheaper although not found in duty free these days. |

| Old Pulteney Isabella Fortuna WK499 is a travel retail exclusive bottling and an excellent whisky, i think it is around £36 not bad for a limited edition and it is a 1 litre bottle. I dont think this will be around much longer. Stay away from the WK209 it was no where near as good as the WK499 |

| Dalmore Age of Exploration 1995 vintage is another travel retail exclusive, a very pleasant very easy to drink version of Dalmore due to its madiera cask influence |

They did have the Old Pulteney 21 at Glasgow airport for under £60 up until recently as i got a bottle a few months ago. I asked Mrs M to pick me up a bottle a couple of weeks ago when she was passing through the airport and they no longer had any only thr WK series bottles so not sure if WoW are still selling it. You could try contacting WoWvia there website and i think they have phone numbers somewhere on there site for each of there big UK airport shops. |
