Winemaking notes
This Glenlivet single malt was distilled in 1978 and spent the next four decades maturing in a single refill sherry hogshead, before being bottled for Gordon & MacPhail’s Private Collection in 2018.
Tasting notes
Sweet sherried aromas of fudge, roasted hazelnuts and chocolate-covered-raisins mingle with fresh citrus and spicy oak. The palate is smooth and spicy, full of warm demerara sugar, fiery chilli, cinnamon and marmalade notes, before a long, refined finish full of rich oak spice.
