Glenforres 12 Years Old 1980s Miniature

This rare 5cl miniature of Glenforres 12 Year Old from the 1980s represents a unique piece of Scottish whisky heritage, showcasing a distinctive blend of just two single malts, with Edradour - Scotland's smallest traditional distillery at the time - being the primary component. This specialized approach to blending was unusual for the era, making this miniature particularly interesting for collectors and whisky historians alike. This 12-year-old expression embodies the craft of selective blending, where the characteristics of Edradour, produced in the tiny Highland distillery using traditional methods, were carefully married with another single malt to create Glenforres' distinct profile. The 1980s bottling holds special significance as it captures a time when Edradour was still under the ownership of Campbell Distillers, before its acquisition by Pernod Ricard in 1982, making this miniature a compelling snapshot of a transitional period in Scottish whisky making.
