Glen Albyn 1976 Gordon & McPhail
Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Distilled on the banks of the Caledonian Canal three years before Glen Albyn’s closure (1983), this Highland rarity slumbered for roughly 36 years in refill Sherry butts carefully tended in G&M’s Elgin warehouses. Bottled at the range’s gentle 43 % ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, it unveils honeyed orchard fruit laced with polished oak, soft leather and mellow spice—a graceful echo of a lost distillery.
