    From the Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice range, this whisky was distilled at the now closed Glencraig distillery in 1975 then bottled 2004.

    Glencraig

    A set of Lomond stills installed at the Glenburgie distillery in 1958 to produce a separate malt known as Glencraig. The adjustable Lomond still was an invention by Hiram Walker, that wanted to control the supply of stock for their blends rather than relying on 3rd party distilleries they couldn’t control. By being able to manipulate the rectifying plate, a different style of distillate was produced. The stills and their spirit were kept separate from Glenburgie which allowed them to be called a different name without the cost of having to build a completely separate distillery. The stills only existed until 1981, when they were shut down due to falling demand for whisky and the issues of overproduction. Much of Glencraig went into the blends as planned, but some independent bottlers did purchase casks and these have appeared over the years. Such releases are worth experiencing for the novelty and short-lived nature of a distillery that never was.
