Bottled by Diageo for their Special Releases 2003. One of only 498 bottles. 70cl. 42.8%. In presentation box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the rarest and most prestigious bottlings in the history of Diageo’s Special Releases, this remarkable Glenury Royal was distilled in 1953 and matured for an extraordinary 50 years before being bottled for the 2003 collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased at a natural cask strength of 42.8%, just 498 bottles were produced, making this one of the smallest and most sought-after editions from the early years of the Special Releases. At the time it represented an exceptional opportunity to taste whisky from Glenury Royal, a distillery that had closed two decades earlier in 1985 and was subsequently demolished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded near Stonehaven in 1825 by Captain Robert Barclay, Glenury Royal was one of only a handful of Scottish distilleries permitted to use the prestigious 'Royal' title. Its whisky has always been scarce, with relatively few official bottlings appearing following the distillery's closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn early highlight of the Special Releases and one of the oldest single malts ever bottled by Diageo, this magnificent 1953 Glenury Royal has become increasingly difficult to find and remains one of the landmark releases from this celebrated series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58691738304893,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Glenury Royal 1953 - 50 Year Old - Special Releases 2003-Lot Id:0626-533","offer_id":58691738337661,"sku":"0626-533","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/0626-533-1_a460faee-fb54-4dfa-a45a-5123342e54fa.jpg?v=1789594229","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/glenury-royal-1953-50-year-old-special-releases-2003-lot-id-0626-533","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
