Gordon & MacPhail Glenlivet 70
Country: Scotland
Region: Speyside
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail
ABV: 45.9%
Score: 96 Points
Currently the oldest single malt Scotch whisky ever bottled after 70 years in an American Oak sherry butt, and as fresh and vibrant as whiskies half its age! The nose is pineapple, furniture polish, and beeswax with a touch of vanilla. The taste has peat smoke, vanilla, pineapple, a hint of mangoes, and a slightly waxy mouthfeel while remaining smooth and well-balanced. The finish is amazingly long and slightly smoky with dried fruits, especially banana and pineapple. A really stunning whisky!
