Anniversary Edition single Cask releases

Royal 1984 35 year old from a first fill
sherry cask.

Anniversary in the whisky business, this
second release was distilled back in
1984 at the now closed Glenury Royal
distillery in Stonehaven in the eastern
Highlands.
This rare Gordon & MacPhail Glenury
Royal 1984 35 year old was distilled
Thursday 7th June 1984 and then fully
matured in a first-fill Sherry Butt,
Cask No. 2335, for 35 years, the cask
produce 397 bottles which have been
bottled at 49.1% ABV.
Gordon & MacPhail describe the whisky as
having notes of sweet orange peel,
cherry, burnt sugar and dried fig on the
palate which give way to a medium and
fruity finish with notes of aniseed and
sherry.
The Gordon & MacPhail Glenury Royal 1984
35 year old joins a
Gordon & MacPhail 125th Anniversary 1972
Coleburn whisky which was
launched in September. The remaining two
whiskies in the anniversary series are
set to be revealed in November and
December – each as rare and unique as
the last.
Stephen Rankin, a fourth-generation
member of Gordon & MacPhail's owning
family and the company’s Director of
Prestige, commented: "Since 1895 Gordon
& MacPhail has released single malts
from over 100 distilleries, many of
which are lesser-known or closed. The
anniversary series is a true homage to
this endeavour."
