Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection 1948 (distilled at Glen Grant, Cask 2154), 48.6%

Smoky sherry, damp burlap, lanolin, then orange blossom on the nose, with a hint of glass cleaner. The palate yields juicy damsons, followed by aniseed, bitter chocolate, and oak tannins. Char and faint smoke in the extremely long finish. (50 bottles in U.S.)
