Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection 74 year old 1949 from Glenlivet Distillery, 49.3%
Price: ● 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)
