- Description
- A rare bottling from the now-closed North Port distillery in the Scottish Highlands, this 1976-vintage was aged 18 years before William Cadenhead's released it in 1995 at cask strength (61.4%). The spirit balances clean Highland maltiness with fresh orchard fruit and a subtle oiliness from age, finishing with dry complexity and length. Essential for whisky historians and collectors of closed distillery bottlings.
