Glen Scotia 48 YO Single Malt (1974)

About this bottle

GLEN SCOTIA 48 YEAR OLD

With only 250 individually numbered bottles drawn from the oldest reserves, the Glen Scotia 48 Year Old is a rare and unique opportunity to taste a bygone era of the Glen Scotia distillery.

Originally laid down in December 1974, this remarkable liquid has passed through the hands and care of multiple generations of distillery teams. It is incredible to think that it was specially selected to be kept back time and time again by various hands, and allowed to continue its journey long after its carers stood down from the helm of the distillery. More than just a remarkable age, it is a window through time into a past era of Glen Scotia.
CASK SELECTED: 1974 17/582-1

The Glen Scotia 48-year-old is presented in a handmade oak display case, inspired by the artistic Spanish ‘Azulejo’ tile designs that were once found in the bodegas and bars of Seville, then wider Spain and Portugal over the 18th and 19th century. A further oak tile resting beneath the bottle holds a plaque with the individual bottle number, tasting notes, and story of this incredible single malt whisky. In partnership with Glencairn, each individually numbered bottle has been tastefully etched and infilled, with gold metal decoration to the body and shoulder. A heavy metal stopper completes its exceptional presentation.
