- Description
- Glenesk's 1970s distillery bottling represents a rare window into Highland whisky-making before the distillery's closure in 1985, now preserved as a no-age-statement single malt at 40% ABV. This bottling captures the character of a lost distillery from an era of Scottish whisky production before modern standardization, offering historical and tasting interest to collectors. The whisky reflects Highland tradition in an unmodified, original form from the era of bottling. Seek this out for its rarity and connection to Scottish distillery heritage.
