Gordon & MacPhail Mr. George Legacy Fourth Edition 65 year old Glen Grant 1958, 56.5%

Price: 9000 Issue: Summer 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Heavily fragrant with rosewood, fresh fig pressed flowers, Agen prunes, a beautifully seasoned oak note, some oak char, violin rosin, new leather, and cocoa powder. Seville orange peels in sugar syrup, black cherry, pepper, and then clove flavors slowly emerge; baked apple, brown sugar, licorice, oak char, and fruity coffee follow. A smooth, soothing finish with aged fruits and smoky oak. Water injects a tanginess to the citrus notes. (60 decanters for the U.S.)
