North Port Brechin 1981 Connoisseurs Choice is a rare and highly collectible Highland single malt Scotch whisky from the closed North Port Brechin Distillery, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for their iconic Connoisseurs Choice series. Distilled in 1981 and matured in refill American hogsheads, this historic expression was bottled in 2004, offering a rare opportunity to experience the character of this long-lost distillery.

North Port (Brechin) is one of Scotland’s silent distilleries, with stocks becoming increasingly scarce and sought after. Refill American oak maturation allows the spirit’s natural profile to shine, developing gentle layers of fruit, malt sweetness, and soft oak over time, resulting in a refined and balanced whisky.
