Alexander Murray & Co Highland Distillery Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 52 year 750 ml

Fifty-two years in oak define the Alexander Murray & Co Highland 52 Year, a cask-strength single malt Scotch from an undisclosed Highland distillery. Alexander Murray works as an independent bottler, sourcing mature casks and releasing them under its own label rather than the distillery's — the source here is named only as 'Highland,' a common arrangement for spirit this old. Whisky that spends more than five decades in wood is rare by simple attrition; most casks are emptied or ruined long before they reach this age. Bottled without dilution at cask strength, a malt this old is a contemplative, once-in-a-while dram — served neat in a Glencairn, given time to sit, with water added drop by drop only if you choose.
