On 8th January 1964, the very first drops of new make spirit were filled into cask and while many millions of litres of spirit have followed over the years, the first casks filled have lain undisturbed and improving with every day. This release is a piece of Scottish distilling history, the first drops of whisky to have flowed from a distillery that has played a huge role in Scotch whisky production over the last fifty years.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Distilled 1964 and bottled in 2022, this stellar release is rich and bold with a hint of smoke, beeswax and ripe fruit on the nose.
