The Hillside 1970 - 25 Year Old is a single malt whisky, part of Diageo's discontinued Rare Malts Selection. It was distilled at the now-closed Glenesk distillery and is bottled at a cask strength of 60.1% ABV.
This expression belongs to the Rare Malts Selection, a series that featured whiskies from both active and defunct distilleries. Hillside was the label used for whiskies produced at Glenesk between 1965 and 1980, enhancing its historical significance. Glenesk distillery ceased operations in 1985.
With its 25-year maturation period, this Hillside expression aligns with the high demand for aged, cask-strength whiskies among collectors and investors. The distillation and bottling years, 1970 and 1995 respectively, add to its unique profile and potential for investment.
