Glen Mhor 1975 Vintage 34-year-old Duncan Taylor / 43.7%/ 0.7l

Glen Mhor Distillery has not produced whisky since 1983 and the memory of it is slowly fading. Probably many a young whisky lover has never had the chance to come across it. And that's a shame.

Glen Mhor single malt made a huge impression on Neil Gunn, the Scottish poet and writer who briefly worked at the distillery as an excise officer. “Until you’ve had the good fortune to taste a perfectly mature whisky, you don’t really know what it’s like,” he wrote of Glen Mhor single malt. Here we present the whisky the poet referred to – distilled in 1975, aged for 34 years in cask no. 6034 and bottled by Duncan Taylor Ltd. in the prestigious Tantalus series.

Nose: "old school", wax, wood filler, hay, green apples, bananas, almonds, old leather couch, polished oak and a handful of herbs from the garden.

Taste: fruity and herbal, slightly vegetable, gooseberries, apples, lemon grass, green tea, traces of nutmeg and licorice and a wonderfully woven bitterness of oak.

Finish: long, herbal and oaky, with notes of lemon peel, white pepper and green fruits.
