Duncan Taylor ‘Rarest of the Rare’ 1981 Glenugie 22 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A Rare Highland Gem

The Duncan Taylor Rarest of the Rare 1981 Glenugie 22 Year Old is a definitive Highland treasure, distilled in the final twilight of Glenugies operations. Crafted from 100% malted barley and matured for over two decades in a single Sherry Cask (#5156), this single malt emerged at a formidable 58% ABV. With only 548 bottles produced, it remains a pinnacle for silent distillery collectors. The experience begins with a symphony of dusty sherry, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts on the nose, leading to a complex palate of thick-cut marmalade and exotic spices. The finish is long and resinous, leaving a lingering trail of spicy warmth and cocoa.
