- Description
- Closed in 1983 and dismantled a decade later, North Port's final years are captured in this 1977 spirit bottled at 62.4% abv by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. Sherry cask influence deepens the Highland character with dried fruit, spice, and wood polish beneath grainy, malty foundations. A poignant snapshot of a lost distillery at a moment when Highland malts were evolving away from their earlier styles.
