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.

An exciting deep rich brown coloured liquid.
A compote of fruit together with dried grapes is lovely on the tongue.
Nicely sweetened syrup is evident too.
Invested in two bottles but will be ordering a third.
Great warming malt enjoyed by two. (One aka Pig)
I know I bought a cask strength whisky but was expecting a nice taste but the strength overpowered the flavor, I found it harsh, but I am not a whiskey conasur. I also bought the secret Orkney signatory cask strength and that was very nice.
