North Port-Brechin 1981 Connoisseurs Choice

Distilled in November 1981 at the now-silent North Port Distillery of Brechin, this 24-year-old single malt from Gordon & MacPhail’s esteemed Connoisseurs Choice range offers a rare glimpse into a largely forgotten distillery. Matured in refill sherry hogsheads, it embodies a rich and fruity character, typical of the region and cask influence. Expect a warming spirit with notes of dried fruit, spice, and a subtle oakiness, reflecting a bygone era of Scottish whisky production. This bottling, released in July 2004, represents a pioneering moment in showcasing single malts from distilleries historically reserved for blending.
