- Description
- North Port (Brechin) closed in 1983, making this 1974 vintage bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 1996 a snapshot of a defunct Highland distillery. At 22 years old and 40%, it preserves the character of a working distillery from the pre-closure era. A historical spirit for collectors and those tracing the genealogy of Scotland's lost single malts.
