Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection 74 year old 1949 from Glenlivet Distillery, 49.3%

Price: 45000 Issue: Winter 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Fully matured in a refill butt, the nose has golden syrup, baked apple, cinnamon breakfast cereal, rich caramel, a spritz of citrus peel oil, and the canvas and polished wood of antique trunks. Vibrantly fruity and full of life, this has cooked fruits, citrus, apple, cherry fruitcake, sticky toffee pudding, damson jam, Seville orange marmalade, hazelnut, and chocolate pralines with a mouth-drenching finish. One of G&M’s best-ever releases. (192 bottles)
