Official tasting Notes
Nose: Blackcurrant aromas combine with rich cinnamon spice and toasted almonds. Dark honey notes develop alongside a hint of sweet fruitcake.
Palate: Dark chocolate flavours complement bitter orange, leading to a hint of mature oak. Stewed raisins come to the fore alongside treacle toffee.
Finish: A medium-bodied and slightly drying finish of mature oak and spice.

Description
This vintage 45-year-old single malt was distilled at the Glenlivet distillery in 1975 and then aged in a refill sherry hogshead under the watchful eye of Gordon & MacPhail for almost half a century before bottling at 55.6% ABV with an outturn of only 63 bottles.
It forms part of the Gordon & MacPhail ‘Private Collection’ series that features a truly exceptional and unique range of greatly aged single malts personally selected by members of the Urquhart family, (owners of Gordon & MacPhail). Each release in their ‘Private Collection’ is a unique and exquisite chapter in Scotland’s history of whisky.
“When a whisky from our Private Collection leaves it’s spiritual home in Elgin, it’s like saying farewell to a family friend.” Stephen Rankin, Member of the Fourth Generation of the Urquhart family
