North Port Brechin 21 Year Old Cadenhead's Authentic Collection

A powerful closed-distillery release, this North Port Brechin 21 Year Old was distilled in December 1976 and bottled in March 1998 by Cadenhead as part of the Authentic Collection. Matured for a full 21 years and bottled at a formidable cask strength of 62% ABV, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire whisky from a distillery that was closed in 1983 and later demolished. For collectors of lost distilleries and classic independent bottlings, this is a highly appealing bottle.
