Strength: 60%   Bottler: Distillery Bottling
Summary: Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky A 1969 Glenesk specially selected and bottled at natural strength to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Glenesk Maltings. This one is pretty rare and a fantastically ballsy natural style dram to boot. They evidently knew how to celebrate in style at the maltings.
