Description

Step into a realm where heritage and rarity converge with the Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection 1979 from Glenlivet Distillery. Distilled in the lush landscapes of Speyside and shepherded through decades by the visionary caretakers at Gordon & MacPhail, this exquisite single malt scotch whiskey is a testament to the art of fine whiskey making.

Crafted during a time of bold aspirations, this vintage expression pays homage to George Smith, the pioneering founder of The Glenlivet Distillery. Smith, a descendant of illicit distillers and the first to secure a legal distilling license after the pivotal Excise Act of 1823, laid the foundation for what would become the epitome of Speyside whiskey. Championed by his landlord, the Duke of Gordon, and later perfected by his son, John Gordon Smith, The Glenlivet emerged as a symbol of unrivaled quality that would set the standard for luxury scotch.

The Private Collection 1979 offers a journey through time with each sip. Its rich, golden hues and complex profile of orchard fruits, aged oak, and aromatic spices are framed by a backdrop of mellow, smoky undertones—each element carefully preserved and enhanced through decades of maturation in select casks. This release is not merely a drink, but a celebration of legacy and craftsmanship, presented in a bottle that encapsulates nearly two centuries of distilled history.

Only a limited number of bottles exist, making the Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection 1979 an essential acquisition for connoisseurs and collectors alike. Owning this bottle means possessing a piece of distilling history, a snapshot of Speyside’s soul, meticulously captured and preserved for the discerning palate. Immerse yourself in the legacy of The Glenlivet with this unparalleled Scotch, a rare gem that continues to define the pinnacle of whiskey excellence.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE
Succulent ripe pear and deep floral aromas are complemented by zesty lemon peel. Rich vanilla and juicy honeydew melon come to the fore alongside mature oak.

TASTE
Smooth and delicate; flavours of roasted almond and soft orange peel give way to a subtle chilli spice. Aniseed and candied apricot combine with sweet and sticky honeycomb.

FINISH
Refreshing and light, citrus zest lingers on the finish.
