- Description
- Glenugie's 1968 vintage represents a piece of Scottish whisky history—this now-closed distillery was bottled by Gordon & MacPhail after approximately 32 years of maturation, resulting in a deeply aged spirit at a gentle 40% ABV. Decades in wood have softened and refined the spirit into a mellow, complex dram with developed tertiary flavours of leather, dried fruit, and subtle oak. The light proof reflects the Gordon & MacPhail philosophy of minimal intervention and maximum spirit expression. This is a collector's dram and a window into Highland distillery character from the 1960s.
