Mosstowie 1979 Whisky Sponge 42 Year Old Fifth Secret Edition

Mosstowie is a long-discontinued single malt that was produced at the Miltonduff distillery in Speyside using Lomond stills. The stills were installed in the 1960s by owners Hiram Walker, who had done likewise at their Scapa, Inverleven and Glenburgie distilleries. The experiment was short-lived, with Miltonduff's Lomond stills ripped out and replaced by traditional pot stills in 1981. Primarily used as a constituent in Ballantine's blends, Mosstowie is rarely seen as a single malt, and sought after when it is.

This Mosstowie was distilled in 1979 and matured in a single refill barrel for an impressive 42 years. It was bottled in 2022 as part of the Whisky Sponge range, the often light-hearted and humorous collaboration between Decadent Drinks and The Whisky Sponge blog. This release is the fifth part of their Secret Edition series.

One of only 69 bottles.
