1949 Vintage Whisky

A 1949 vintage Glenlivet drawn from the scary end of Gordon & Macphail's well-stocked warehouses. Glenlivet is a spirit that can happily take a lot of aging and this one is a perfect demonstration, having sat in a cask for over 50 years..

Glen Grant is one of a handful of Speyside distilleries that can handle very extended cask maturation - this Gordon & MacPhail example was aged for nearly sixty years.

A long aged whisky from Gordon & Macphail, distilled at Strathisla back in 1949 just before the distillery was bought and rejuvenated by Chivas Brothers.

Very few malts can stand anything like as much ageing as this Benromach has managed. Which makes it all the more amazing that the whisky inside the bottle can still seem so fresh. Of course, over fifty-five years, the angels get to take more than their fair share - only eighty-three bottles were yielded from the cask. MAXIMUM ONE PER CUSTOMER
