- Description
- Glenugie 5 year old from a rare 1980s distillery bottling—one of precious few releases from this now-defunct Highland distillery. At five years, the spirit shows youth and vivacity with fresh malt character and light oak influence, capturing Glenugie before closure. The texture is crisp and clean with a short, bright finish. Essential for collectors documenting Scotland's lost distilleries.
