Description
Alloa 1973 from Alambic Classique’s Rare and Old Selection is a 46 year old single grain that goes even further in maturity and patience than the younger releases from the same period. This is whisky from a distillery that no longer plays an active role in the modern market, which already gives it historical weight, yet the real interest lies in how the spirit has developed over almost half a century. The long ageing has created a smoother, richer and more rounded style with gentle sweetness, deeper oak character and a calm, confident presence in the glass. It feels like a whisky that has simply been allowed to grow old naturally, making it appealing for anyone who values age, authenticity and the chance to taste something that survived well beyond its original purpose.
