- Description
- Glenugie's 1965 distillate represents one of Scotland's forgotten distilleries, now closed since 1983, bottled by Hart Brothers at 23 years old in the late 1980s. The extended maturation has endowed this Highland whisky with soft, honeyed notes and a silky texture that contrasts with the drier, more spiritous character typical of its era. Age and rarity have deepened the complexity, introducing subtle oak influence and dried orchard fruit alongside classic Highland heather and grain. This is a collector's bottle that bridges history and flavour, ideal for those drawn to closed distilleries and vintage expressions.
