North Port 20 Year Old 1979 Rare Malts Whisky in Presentation Box - 61.2% 70cl - Bottle No 3342

This series was created by United Distillers, using bottlings from mostly closed distilleries in 1995.

The single malts were distilled between the late 60’s and early 80’s maturing for at least 18 years each and some even reaching 30 years.

Due to the great success of this, an annual release was formed, aptly named “Special Releases” in 2001. Distilleries on that list include Benrinnes, Brora, Linkwood & Teaninich.

This single malt is from the closed distillery, North Port, that was demolished in 1983.

Distilled in 1979, it was bottled at 20 Years old at the natural cask strength of 61.2%.

This is a limited edition, individually numbered bottles - bottle #3342.
