Distilled in 1979 and bottled in October 2000, this release is presented at a natural cask strength of 59.4%. The Rare Malts Selection was active from 1995 to 2005, with the goal of showcasing lesser-known whiskies in Diageo's portfolio.
This single malt comes from the Coleburn Distillery, closed since 1985, and has a limited edition status with individual bottle numbering. Being one of the few official bottlings from the distillery, it has become an item of interest for collectors and investors.
