This bottling of a 26-year-old Glendullan single malt was produced as an original distillery bottling in the Rare Malts Selection series. The whisky was distilled in 1978 and bottled at cask strength in individually numbered bottles in 2005.
Glendullan is a distillery in Dufftown, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, which was founded in 1897 by William Williams. It was renovated in the 1960s, a new building was erected next door in the early 1970s and the old facilities were closed in 1985.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
