Glenlivet 'Gordon & MacPhail' 1977 / 2015 43% Old Malt Cask smoky baconDistilled at the Glenlivet Distillery in 1977 and matured by Gordon & MacPhail in their warehouses in Elgin, this expression has been bottled with the retro 'George & J. G. Smith's' label, a tribute to one of the first ever commerical whisky bottle labels. Fresh and floral in style, with orange aromas and a delicate honey sweetness. It has a mouth warming palate with menthol freshness and sweet fruity flavours and incredibly oaky depth.
