Miltonduff 12 years old Glenlivet Malt Scotch Whisky 50 cl 43%

Miltonduff is one of those distilleries that works mostly behind the scenes, carrying Ballantine's forward while occasionally letting a cask out under its own name.

Note: This bottle is an older release from the late 1980s, so minor signs of age may appear on the label or capsule.

Expert's Description

Miltonduff 12 Year Old Glenlivet Malt Scotch Whisky is a late-1980s Speyside malt, bottled under the historic "Glenlivet Malt" designation at 43%.

Until the 1980s, several Speyside whiskies, including Miltonduff, were marketed with "Glenlivet" added to the label to signal regional origin – a practice now prohibited, which makes this bottle a piece of whisky history in its own right.
