- Description
- A scarce 1980s bottling of Glen Spey's 8-year-old expression, distinguished by its traditional cork stopper rather than modern screwcap closure. This Speyside single malt carries the distillery's characteristic elegance and balance, reflecting its decade in cask before release at a natural 40% ABV. A piece of Scottish whisky history for collectors seeking authentic examples from the era before industry consolidation.
