- Description
- This 1939 Glenlivet, distilled in Speyside's heartland and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1970s after more than 30 years of maturation, carries the hallmarks of pre-war Scottish whisky-making. The extended aging has created a whisky of considerable refinement and subtlety. At 40% ABV, it represents both the distillery's character and the independent bottler's skill in patience. This is a historical artifact and a refined dram for the serious collector.
