Glenugie 1967 22 años Single Malt Whisky

Glenugie Distillery, established in 1831 during Scotland's great whisky expansion, stands as one of the most geographically distinctive lost distilleries of the Eastern Highlands. Located in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, on the banks of the Ugie River near the North Sea coast, it held the unique distinction of being Scotland's easternmost mainland distillery and the northernmost distillery accessible by British rail. Operating for over 150 years, Glenugie produced a distinctive maritime-influenced Highland single malt using traditional copper pot stills and pure spring water from local aquifers. The distillery fell victim to the 1983 industry consolidation, closing its doors during the 'whisky loch' crisis. Today, Glenugie represents a rare collector's gem, with remaining stocks exclusively released through independent bottlers such as Gordon & MacPhail, Signatory Vintage, and Cadenhead's. Its whisky is characterized by an unusual coastal Highland profile: pronounced tropical fruit notes (mango, pineapple), honeyed sweetness, and subtle briny undertones reflecting its North Sea proximity, matured primarily in ex-bourbon and sherry casks. Bottles are extremely limited and highly sought after in the secondary market, commanding premium prices among connoisseurs of Scotland's silent distilleries.
