GORDON & MACPHAIL Glenrothes 1986 Cask Strength 31 Yr Old 61.4%
Distilled on September 17, 1986, and aged for over three decades, this specific cask was bottled on January 12, 2017, exclusively for the prestigious Whisky Show Old & Rare in Glasgow. Matured in a single Refill Bourbon Barrel (Cask No. 20235), it yielded a microscopic and highly exclusive outturn of just 62 bottles worldwide. Because it was drawn straight from the barrel at a staggering natural cask strength of 61.4% ABV after 31 years of aging, it represents an absolute structural anomaly—retaining an incredibly high alcohol volume that preserves intense, old-school orchard fruit flavors, dense waxiness, and deep vanilla bean characteristics without being over-oaked.
