- Description
- This 1982 Glenesk, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 1994, offers a rare window into the closed Highland distillery's pre-closure style. Matured for 12 years in refill casks, it displays the delicate fruit and dry spice characteristic of Glenesk, unmarked by the heavy hand of new wood. Its rarity—scarce even as an independent bottling—reflects the distillery's brief post-war existence. For collectors of Scottish distilling history and those seeking authentic Highland character.
