Description
Dufftown-Glenlivet's 12 Year Old, bottled in the 1980s from spirit distilled in the 1970s, captures the distillery during a decade of expansion when production capacity doubled from four to eight stills. A litre format bottling at 43% ABV, it offers an honest Speyside character with orchard fruit and subtle cereal notes typical of the era. The texture is light to medium-bodied with gentle oak influence and a clean, dry finish. A fascinating period piece for those interested in Speyside's industrial growth and vintage whisky collecting.
