Gordon & MacPhail 1975 Glencraig from Glenburgie Distillery
125 Anniversary Edition
The fourth and final rare whisky released to celebrate our 125th anniversary is the Gordon & MacPhail 1975 Glencraig from Glenburgie Distillery.
The 44-year-old whisky was distilled in Lomond Stills, which operated within Speyside’s Glenburgie Distillery, before production ceased after just 23 years.
The majority of the Glencraig whisky was destined for blended malts, with the scarcely seen light and fruity single malt becoming a prized addition to any whisky collection.
Just 110 bottles are available of the Gordon & MacPhail 1975 Glencraig from Glenburgie Distillery, which was laid down on Thursday 30 October 1975 and bottled on Thursday 28 May 2020 at 54.2% ABV.
Nose
Fragrant HONEY and DESICCATED COCONUT aromas lead to CITRUS BLOSSOM. MALTED CEREAL notes come to the fore alongside tart GRAPEFRUIT with soft GINGER and subtle OAK.
Taste
Rich NECTARINE flavours and mouth-warming WHITE PEPPER give way to refreshing LIME ZEST. COCOA BEANS and CRYSTALISED VIOLET complement ripe APPLE with a soft HERBAL edge.
Finish
Medium-bodied with fresh CITRUS and lingering FLORAL notes on the finish.
Glenburgie Distillery
Opened in 1810 originally operating under the name Kilnflat, the distillery closed in 1870 and reopened in 1878 renamed as Glenburgie. The distillery changed hands many times over the years until eventually being bought by Hiram Walker in 1936 and in 1958 Lomond Stills were installed creating Glencraig. The addition of Lomond Stills at Glenburgie allowed Hiram Walker to add a different style of spirit to its portfolio without having to build a completely new distillery. However, due to the difficulty in cleaning the Lomond Stills they were removed in 1981 and Glencraig was lost to the whisky world.
