Special features: This rare Glen Albyn is from the 1979 vintage and was bottled in 2023 after 43 years of maturation in a refill sherry puncheon by Gordon & MacPhail in the Private Collection. The strictly limited edition comprises only 95 bottles and is delivered in an elegant wooden box – a true collector's item for lovers of historic Highlands whiskies.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Rich and complex, characterized by dark dried fruits, nuts, as well as fine sherry notes and a hint of malt.
Palate: Full-bodied with flavors of ripe berries, chocolate, dried herbs, and delicate spices.
Finish: Long-lasting, warm, and smooth with a subtle aftertaste of sherry and oak.
Distillery/Bottler: Glen Albyn was located in the Scottish Highlands and founded in 1837. The distillery closed in 1983, making its original bottlings particularly sought after today. Gordon & MacPhail, a traditional independent bottler, preserves the heritage of Glen Albyn in their Private Collection through careful selection and many years of experience, which includes rare and high-quality bottlings.
