- Description
- This rare 1970s Dufftown carries the era when Arthur Bell & Sons owned the distillery, with the vintage label marking it as part of Bell's house whisky production. At just 8 years old when bottled, it reflects the lighter maturation standards of the era and offers a snapshot of Speyside single malt from that period.
