1967 Vintage Whisky

Whisky During the Summer of Love

The year 1967 was known for the "Summer of Love," a social phenomenon that saw nearly 100,000 people, mostly young, converging in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. The Vietnam War protests escalated, and Thurgood Marshall became the first African-American Supreme Court Justice in the U.S.

1967 saw the whisky industry continuing its embrace of innovation, as the world around it was buzzing with cultural and technological shifts. Single malt Scotch, having gained significant traction in the mid-'60s, was further consolidating its presence in global markets. Distilleries were deepening their exploration into varied cask finishes, and the concept of terroir, usually associated with wine, began influencing whisky production. This was a period where both tradition and experimentation were celebrated, leading to some exceptional and iconic releases that are cherished by collectors today.
