OLD MONTROSE 12 Year Old, which was available in Japan in the 1990s, is a rare pure malt (now called blended malt) Scotch whisky, luxuriously vatting only malt whiskies. Bottled by Montrose Whisky Company Ltd., based in Glasgow and London, this whisky is made exclusively from high-quality whiskies aged for 12 years. With a volume of 750ml and an alcohol content of 43%, it boasts impressive specifications that symbolize the era of "special grade whiskies" at the time.
The blending process does not use any grain whiskey, and the main feature is the rich flavor and complex harmony of single malts from several prestigious distilleries. The label features a dignified golden coat of arms with two lions supporting a shield, and together with the accompanying blue marbled presentation box, it exudes the premium atmosphere that was popular as a gift or for high-class drinking parties at the time.
Imported and distributed by J Kikaku Co., Ltd. in Osaka, this exceptional whisky offers the mellow, honey-like sweetness unique to 1980s-1090s bottlings, the deep richness of aged whisky, and a long, elegant finish that cannot be found in current blended whiskies. Even after nearly 40 years, this bottle still embodies the "100% malt purity" pursued by the blenders of the time, making it a highly valued and highly collectible piece for vintage bottle enthusiasts.
