- Description
- Glen Albyn closed in 1983, making any bottling from this defunct Inverness distillery a historical curiosity and serious collector's piece. This 1977 vintage spent exactly 20 years in cask before being bottled by Signatory, one of only 280 bottles released from this single cask. The scarcity and distillery's heritage make this a prized dram for those interested in Highland whisky history and discontinued producers.
