Description
Glenugie's 1981 distillate represents one of the last releases from this now-closed Highland distillery, aged 23 years in sherry cask #5155 and bottled at cask strength by Duncan Taylor in 2005. The extended sherry maturation builds layers of dried fruit, treacle, and warming spice over the distillery's characteristic malt sweetness. The texture is rich and viscous at 61.9%, with a long, warming finish that evolves from fruit to oak tannins. This is a collector's piece for those exploring Scotland's lost distilleries and mature sherry-cask expressions.
