Description

This 51-year-old Kinclaith single malt whisky was distilled in 1969 and bottled in 2020 by independent bottler Duncan Taylor as part of their 'Rarest of the Rare' series. Kinclaith was a small Lowland distillery that operated from 1957 to 1975, housed within the Strathclyde grain distillery complex, and is considered one of Scotland's most elusive distilleries. The liquid was matured in a combination of American and European oak casks. This limited release consists of 95 individually numbered bottles. [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]
