Mosstowie is the name given to whisky distilled in the Lomond Still at the Miltonduff distillery. They started making Mosstowie whisky in 1964, but stopped in 1981. Therefore, this 1979 vintage, bottled by Gordon and MacPhail is a particularly rare whisky.

Mosstowie 1979 - Rare Old (Gordon and MacPhail)
Dog Dogson's Smartass corner
Character Dogson
Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
The site of the Miltonduff distillery was previously the grain mill for the neighboring Abbey. One wonders how quickly the monks realized they could make booze, instead of bread.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
Miltonduff operated two, "Lomond," stills — of Loch Lomond fame — for a couple of decades, to make their Mosstowie label. While delicious, they were shut down in favor of the better selling Miltonduff's, after a couple of decades.
Is Scotch always Scottish? What do you think? Yes. The answer is yes.
