Glenugie 1970-2012 Gordon & MacPhail Rare OldHighland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl 46% Glenugie is one of four lost distilleries in the Peterhead area and one of many that closed in the early 1980s making this example fit perfectly in with Gordon & MacPhail's 'Rare Old' series. Distilled in 1970 and bottled in 2012 at over 40 years of age. Only 150 bottles were produced.

Single grain whisky has often lived in the shadow of single malt

If this is anything like the dumpy 8-year-old from around the same time then this should be fantastic whisky

should be quite tasty

A superb opportunity to experience whisky from one of Scotland's most significant closed grain distilleries

Try finding whisky of this age and quality for this kind of price anywhere else these days

early 1990s

This looks to have been pretty active for a refill cask

Only 500 bottles were produced at 54

This should be similar to some of the already legendary aged malts from G&M from the 1930s/40s but this should be much bigger and ballsier

This is a spectacular dram

spicy with a decidedly dry finish

dried fruits and winter spices mingle with caramelised brown sugar and roasted nuts
