DETAILS & COLLECTIBILITY

This Matthew Gloag Cognac 1940's is admired for its mature aromatic profile, opening with refined notes of dried fruits, antique wood tones and subtle floral undertones. However, its palate carries soft layers of honeyed spice, toasted oak and mellow orchard fruits. The bottle size and estimated alcohol content reflect the production norms of the time, enhancing its authenticity.

Collectors value the Matthew Gloag Cognac 1940’s for its scarcity and its unique position within the Gloag portfolio, as the house is primarily associated with whisky rather than Cognac. Surviving bottles from this era are exceedingly rare, making this example especially desirable among enthusiasts. Its combination of limited availability and mid-century heritage elevates it to a highly collectible status.
