- Description
- Glenugie closed in 1983, making this official bottling from distillery owner Chivas's Deoch an Doras range increasingly scarce. Distilled in 1980 and bottled in 2011 at 30 years old, this Highland single malt represents a rare opportunity to experience the closed distillery's mature character. The three-decade maturation has developed considerable depth and complexity while preserving the distillery's characteristic Highland spice and subtle fruit. A collectible bottling for those pursuing closed-distillery expressions and Scottish whisky history.
