Glenlivet 1966-2012 | Gordon & MacPhailSpeyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl 43% A wonderfully inviting 1966 Glenlivet bottled 2012 by Gordon & MacPhail. Hugely complex whisky full of wax notes, spice, soft citrus fruits, wild flowers, honey and hints of natural vanilla and milk chocolate. A sublime dram and once again great value from G&M considering the expensive official alternatives.

This bottle of Crawford's Five Star was bottled in the late 1970s and remains in very impressive condition

A pure and very classical sherry matured Glenfarclas

Aged independent Laphroaigs seem to be back in fashion these days

One of a number of excellent 1986 sherried Bruichladdichs

A really beautiful and complex profile that keeps on developing for a long long time

slightly smoky 30-year-old full strength single cask Macallan for a fraction of the price of the official 30-year-old

faint medicinal touches

Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 56

These sorts of whiskies put modern sherry casks to shame

And compared to so many other official 40yo bottlings these days

sweet flavours and mouthfeel

despite the very sporadic production and with the distillery frequently mothballed
