Description

The Rare Malts are a series of Diageo cask-strength releases designed to show off some of the lesser known whiskies in its empire. Selected from what were deemed to be some of the best casks in their warehouses, the series enjoys a stellar reputation for quality, and as a result bottlings are highly sought after today. This 23 Year Old Limited Edition is part of the Rare Malts Selection. A scarce and unique whisky distilled in 1972 and bottled at natural cask strength for the enjoyment of the true connoisseur.
