- Description
- Glenesk's 1969 expression, released in the early 1990s at cask strength (60% ABV), is a rare Highland whisky from a distillery that ceased production in 1985. The spirit carries the character of 1960s Highland distillation—likely rich, slightly fruity, and full-bodied, though with 30+ years' age the cask has significantly shaped the final profile. This is a museum piece for Highland whisky historians and collectors seeking vestiges of now-defunct Scottish production.
