- Description
- Glenburgie 1968, bottled in the 1980s by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail under their Connoisseurs Choice label, represents a vanished era of Speyside production. At 40% ABV, this vintage spirit carries the mature, slightly oxidative character typical of whiskies from this period. Expect dried fruits, leather, and subtle wood spice alongside the grain-forward Speyside base. This is for whisky historians and those seeking a glimpse into how Scottish single malts aged decades ago.
