- Description
- Mosstowie 1979, bottled in 1997 by Gordon & MacPhail at 40% ABV, is a rare example of whisky from the Lomond still that operated at Miltonduff between 1964 and 1981. The 18-year maturation has softened the still's distinctly fruity character into a rounded, accessible Speyside profile. This vintage bottling represents a unique window into discontinued Scottish production methods and rewards patient collectors.
