Description

GLENLIVET GORDON & MACPHAIL GENERATIONS 70 YEAR OLD

45.9 ABV 1940 


1 bt 70cl (opc) 


Bottle 40 of 100, 1st release, teardrop decanter with silver capsule and base, booklet and certificate signed by Michael and David Urquhart inside original wooden presentation case with original outer case


The first 70 year old Glenlivet to be released by the Urquharts as the second instalment of G & M’s Generations series, this incredibly rare whisky was distilled during the second world war at a time when whisky production had been ceased at many other distilleries across Scotland. Soon after this distillation Glenlivet was mothballed for 3 years.


This cask was selected by John Urquhart and bottled by his grandsons Michael and David Urquhart as one of only 100 beautiful crystal and sterling silver decanters.
