A stunning vintage single malt that was produced at the Glenlivet distillery in 1950 and bottled, having spent over half a century in cask, by Gordon & MacPhail in 2001. This highly collectible Speysider comes complete with original wooden presentation box.

It is becoming increasingly difficult, almost impossible to find vintage whiskies these days.

Thankfully over the years Gordon and MacPhail have released bottles like this, a great old Speysider distilled in 1955 and then aged 42 years before being bottled in 1997.

This is part of the Gordon & MacPhail Distillery Labels series, which replicates the livery the Elgin-based bottlers used in the mid-20th century when they produced the only official bottlings (under license) for many distilleries like this.
