North Port Brechin 1970 (Old Map Label) Connoisseurs Choice

A very rare closed-distillery Highland malt, this North Port Brechin 1970 was bottled by Gordon & MacPhail as part of their Connoisseurs Choice range, featuring the discontinued Old Map Label. Distilled at the now-silent North Port (Brechin) distillery in 1970, this is believed to have been bottled in the 1980s, making it a highly collectible example of an older-era G&M presentation from a lost distillery.
