- Description
- Kinclaith operated for only two decades at the Strathclyde complex in Glasgow before closure in 1977, making bottles like this 1966 distillation exceptionally rare today. This Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice bottling from the late 1980s captures the distillery's Lowland character at 40% ABV. The spirit represents a vanished chapter of Scottish distilling, with value lying in scarcity and historical significance.
