Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 
Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 53.5%

An old and rare single cask 40-year-old Glenlivet 1978, bottled in 2018 without colouring or chill filtration by Gordon & MacPhail for their ne plus ultra Private Collection series.

This beautiful 1978 Glenlivet 40-year-old from Gordon & MacPhail was matured in a refill sherry hogshead that yielded an impressive 319 bottles at its ideal natural cask strength of 53.5%. Thanks to long-standing filling agreements, G&M are the only indie bottler that can regularly bottle top class long-aged Glenlivet, and this Private Collection prestige edition is an essential for serious collectors.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Sweet sherried aromas weave into layers of roasted hazelnut, soft fudge, milk chocolate, and plump, rum-soaked raisins. Flashes of fresh citrus peel breakthrough and, combined with polish notes, balance the sweetness.

Palate: Smooth and spicy; warm demerara sugar disperses over warming chilli, cinnamon, and clove spice flavours. Intense, thick-cut orange marmalade notes unfold into a lingering charred oak edge.

Finish: Long, spicy, refined and well-balanced
