Hillside 1969 | 25 Year Old | Rare Malts Selection 61.9%Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 75cl 61. 9% A 1969 Hillside bottled at 25 years of age under the Rare Malts label back in the mid 1990s. This was one of the earliest Rare Malts and set a real standard and tone for the rest of the series. Very old style, distillate driven, Highlands style whisky from an otherwise barely bottled distillery. Very waxy, flinty, mineral and slightly farmy with lots of white fruits and wildflower

Matured in oak casks for at least 40 years

Bottled by John Crabbie 70cl / 46

There were some incredible casks going into these 30-year-old Macallan batches back then - all 100% sherry casks filled in the 1960s
