- Description
- Bottled in the 1980s from Millburn's 1971 distillation, this vintage Highland whisky from Gordon & MacPhail carries the delicate character typical of the now-closed distillery. Apple compote, lavender sweets, and subtle smoked meat notes create an unusual aromatic profile suggesting light sherry or ex-bourbon maturation and considerable age. This rare bottling belongs in collections focused on lost distilleries and vintage Highland expressions.
