Bottle No 39 of 100 Limited Edition Bottles. 

Only 100 bottles of Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky specially bottled for The Whisky Connoisseur were released to mark 100 years between the First piloted flight of a heavier-than-air aircraft in 1903 and the Last flight of the legendary Concorde in 2003.

On December 17, 1903, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, named Wilbur and Orville Wright, inaugurated the aerial age with their success in flying an airplane they built. Their powered aircraft flew for 12 seconds above the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Orville Wright piloted the Wright Flyer for 12 seconds, covering 120 feet. The flight was the first sustained, controlled, and powered flight of its kind. 

Concorde is a retired Anglo-French supersonic airliner jointly developed and manufactured by Sud Aviation and the British Aircraft Corporation. The Concorde entered service with Air France and British Airways in 1976 and rose to fame in no time. It was the transatlantic talk of the town as it was staggeringly fast and luxurious, with excellent service, cuisine, and exclusive airport lounges. The Concorde was retired due to high fares, excessive cost, and loud noise. Environmental advocates also criticized the plane's inefficiency and argued its emissions would damage the ozone layer. The final flight operated by British Airways aircraft G-BOAG with Mike Bannister at the helm departed from New York at midday UK time on October 24, 2003 and arrived at Heathrow, marking the end of Concorde's commercial service. In just a month, Concorde had its final flight altogether on 26th November 2003. The last commercial flight attracted massive media attention.

Independent bottler The Whisky Connoisseur was owned by Arthur J A Bell (not to be confused with company Arthur Bell and Sons Ltd!) and specialized in cask strength single cask bottling, mainly in the late 90s. They also bottled a lot of miniatures and gave the own brand names.

Arthur J A Bell was the man behind the independent bottler The Whisky Connoisseur which was based in Biggar and has no connection to the whisky giant Arthur Bell and Sons PLC. Arthur J A Bell was the subject of a historic court case when Guinness PLC. took him to court for selling a blended whisky under his own name, after they had purchased the Arthur Bell's of Perth distillery . The Court of Session in Edinburgh upheld Arthur J A Bell's inalienable right to trade under his own name.

Arthur J A Bell The Whisky Connoisseur bottled a lot of single malt miniature whiskies as well as full sized bottles. The Whisky Connoisseur also had a "Cask Master Selection" which was a series of single cask bottling. Bell would adopt a favour for bottling single malts under creative names such as Aberlogie (Macallan) or Brodgar (Highland Park), and enjoyed access to high-quality casks which made his releases a favourite of collectors all over the world. They often carry a strong Scottish theme, but also include sporting events, the British royal family, and war history such as The Battle of Britain. Bell passed away in 2015, but his bottlings continue to generate great interest.
