Tasting Notes

This extraordinary single malt Scotch whisky hails from a revived Lowland distillery, resurrected from silence. Distilled in October 1985 and matured for eight years in a solitary cask, it was bottled in September 1994 at a robust 61.3% ABV by The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, renowned for their cask-strength drams. Hints of its provenance remain a tantalizing mystery, as the SMWS discreetly veils the distillery's identity. This rare gem offers a glimpse into the renaissance of a once-dormant spirit, inviting whisky enthusiasts to embark on a journey of rediscovery. With its limited release and captivating backstory, this singular expression promises a truly exceptional tasting experience that celebrates the resurgence of a forgotten Lowland treasure.
