Glenlivet Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 50 Year Old · 1948 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-gold highlights and a mahogany-tinged glow, rich and venerable.

Nose

Sherry-kissed and refined, the nose opens with polished oak and honeyed malt, then reveals dried fig, raisin, and prune, with toasted almond and walnut. Dark chocolate and espresso weave through vanilla and orange zest, while cinnamon and clove add spice. Leather and antique wood deepen with air, a testament to fifty years of patient maturation.

Palate

Silky and extraordinarily poised, this 50-year-old Glenlivet coats the palate with velvety depth. Lush orchard fruit—pear and apple—meets honeyed sweetness, vanilla cream, and toasted almond. Subtle oak lends quiet backbone, while dried fruit and a whisper of caramel echo into a long, refined finish.

Finish

Opulent, lasting finish that unfolds with honeyed malt and orchard fruit, tempered by refined wood spice. It lingers gracefully, leaving almond, dried apricot, and a whisper of warm oak.
