- Description
- This 1950 vintage bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 2009 represents a rare partnership between two Scotch whisky institutions with roots stretching to the early 20th century. At 43% ABV and over half a century old when bottled, this Macallan reflects a generation of spirit-making that predates modern standardisation. The extreme age suggests considerable colour development and wood influence alongside whatever remains of the original spirit character. A historical artefact for serious collectors and those studying how Speyside evolved.
