Official tasting Notes
Nose: Rich sherry aromas combine with sweet Morello cherry and a hint of beeswax polish. Soft aniseed develops alongside ginger and cinnamon with subtle
notes of candied orange peel.
Palate: Flavours of stewed red berries give way to toasted almonds and light cocoa powder. Baked apples accompany clove spice and a delicate herbal character.
Finish: A full finish with raspberries, blackcurrants and lingering liquorice.

Description
This vintage 44-year-old single malt was distilled at the Glenlivet distillery in 1976 and then aged in a first fill sherry hogshead under the watchful eye of Gordon & MacPhail for almost half a century before bottling at 51.3% ABV with an outturn of only 83 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
