- Description
- Dufftown-Glenlivet's 8-year-old from the 1980s represents an earlier era of the distillery, bottled with the now-historical black and red coat of arms that marks its vintage. Matured in the simple, direct style of its time, it shows gentle Speyside honeyed grain, light vanilla oak, and a clean herbal edge that reflects pre-modern distillery practices. A period piece for collectors and those curious about how Dufftown tasted before contemporary refinement.
