Product Description

This gorgeous 43 year old Highland single malt was distilled at Glenlochy on the 15th November 1979 and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for their Private Collection on the 11th January 2023.

Charged from refill American hogshead number 3309 at a natural strength 53.6% ABV, this is one of just 141 bottles that comes complete with fine oak presentation case.

The Recollection Series are annual releases that offer a unique opportunity for whisky enthusiasts and collectors to enjoy forgotten masterpieces that have been lying in wait at the G&M warehouse.

Glenlochy was founded in 1898, it suffered many troubled years from there in, closing multiple times, before finally succumbing to a complete closure in 1983. The site was sold in 1991 for redevelopment, with many of the original buildings destroyed.
