This latest release, is the last of four extremely rare and unique whiskies, each from the last remaining casks from lost or closed distilleries matured within Gordon & MacPhail’s famed warehouse.
The 44 Year Old whisky was distilled in Lomond Stills, which
operated within Speyside’s Glenburgie Distillery, before production ceased
after just 23 years. The majority of the whisky it produced was destined for
blended malts, with the scarcely seen light and fruity single malt becoming a
prized addition to any whisky collection.
Gordon & MacPhail 1975 Glencraig from Glenburgie
Distillery, is said to deliver aromas of honey, coconut and oak. The taste
brings flavours of rich nectarines, white pepper, lime and cocoa beans, with a
soft herbal edge. A medium finish follows, embodied with citrus and lingering
floral notes.
Commenting on the news, Stephen Rankin, Gordon &
MacPhail’s Director of Prestige, said: “While it’s bittersweet to share the
last remaining drops of these ultra-rare whiskies, they embody a fitting
tribute to 125 years spent in pursuit of perfection. These four releases
provide a personal legacy for all who have worked at Gordon & MacPhail over
the decades culminating in these exquisite and unique drams found nowhere
else.”
Limited to 110 bottles, Gordon & MacPhail 1975 Glencraig
from Glenburgie Distillery, will be available later this month from specialist
retailers, for a RRP of £1,500,00.
