Gordon & MacPhail Generations Glenlivet 70 Years Old (Distilled 1940)
Bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, Elgin. On the 3rd of February 1940, to the instruction of John Urquhart (grandfather and great grandfather of the current owners of Gordon & MacPhail), a First Fill Sherry Butt was filled at Glenlivet Distillery and left to mature in warehouse number 6 at the distillery. On the 10th January 1980, the cask was moved to Gordon & MacPhail's own bonded warehouse in Elgin and in September 2010 the decision was taken to carefully empty cask number 339 and bottle this fine and rare single malt at cask strength – 45.9%
Presented in a tear-shaped hand-blown crystal decanter with an elegant British Hallmarked silver stopper. The decanter nestles in a sterling silver base and is framed in a handmade box, crafted in Scotland using Scottish Elm. Only 100 70cl bottles will be released in 2011. Each crystal decanter is uniquely numbered. This is bottle 82 of 100. 其他珍稀的佳釀還包括高登麥克菲爾酒廠世代系列（Generations）中最陳年的格蘭利威70年珍釀，該支單一麥芽威士忌於1940年2月3日在John Urquhart（現今高登麥克菲爾酒廠擁有者的祖父及曾祖父）指導下蒸餾，然後注進雪莉桶，置放於格蘭利威釀酒廠六號酒倉，讓它醞釀七十年之久，直至2010年才裝瓶。
這珍釀以人手吹製的淚型水晶雕花瓶盛載，配上英國戳記純銀製的優雅瓶塞，底部為純銀製造的基座，並以蘇格蘭精工製造的蘇格蘭榆木箱收藏，在2011年只生產了一百瓶700毫升裝，且每一瓶皆配有獨一無二的號碼。這瓶是一百瓶裡的八十二號酒。
