700 ml Low StockProducer Tasting Note
Nose: rich beeswax aromas lead to underlying molasses, stewed prunes, and warm spices. Subtle aged leather develops alongside mature oak and a hint of cocoa powder.
Taste: smooth and full bodied. Seville orange peel and morello cherry flavours give way to dried tobacco and roasted coffee bean.Toasted oak notes come to the fore with a touch of licorice.
Finish: long and balanced with a faint hint of smoke.

“No need for a Bentley, an Aston-Martin, or a McLaren here to underscore the class of such a bottle. The entire 'Mr George Urquhart Legacy' series is simply wonderful. I also find it fabulous that they do not hesitate to have them tasted; on the other hand, unlike some distilleries, they know that these whiskies are sublime – because they generally are. Let's see if this law holds true here... Colour: red amber. Nose: oh how I love these notes of spruce, thuja wood, green liquorice, mentholated tobacco, essential oils of thyme and rosemary, then sultanas, dried figs, chestnut honey, grilled chestnuts... This nose is simply splendid, believe me. And we haven't even added water yet. With water: an incredible resinous side, without ever the slightest acrid touch as can be found in very old casks. Admirable. Mouth (neat): utterly superlative. The smoky and even terpenic notes are back, as are the sundried grapes, the dried figs we adore so much, the honeys, the waxes, the tobaccos, the dried fruits in general, the touches of incense and sandalwood... It's splendid. With water: but yes! To be honest, with very old whiskies, we tend to forgive certain small faults but here, there is strictly nothing to forgive, everything is just perfect. You just have to like liquorice, resinous sap, figs, oranges, and all kinds of roasted nuts, peanuts, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts... Finish: very long, always incredibly balanced. A hint of vegetal tar in the aftertaste. Comments: sixty-five years old, just that. Incredible, even if for a cognac or armagnac house, it's almost a baby (I'm exaggerating again). SGP:572 – 95 points.”

This whisky seems even more poignant now with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's recent passing. Although a decade has passed, it doesn't seem so long ago when we launched the Gordon & Macphail Glen Grant 1952 Diamond Jubilee bottling with Michael Urquhart. Bottled from cask number 381, a first fill sherry butt, this 1952 Glen Grant was bottled after 70 years at 52.3%. 93pts Whisky Fun / 93.25pts Whiskybase.
Producer Description

It was bottled on 6th February, the date of the Queen’s accession, and serves as a fitting tribute, exemplifying how character, patience and wisdom can mature over decades to deliver an exceptional legacy."

About the Mr. George Legacy Range
"Honouring Mr George Urquhart, a member of the second generation of the company’s owning family and the man who helped bring single malt whisky to the world, the Gordon & MacPhail Mr George Legacy 1957 from Glen Grant Distillery is the second expression to be released as part of the whisky creator’s annual Legacy series. It was laid down 64 years ago while ‘Mr George’, as he was known to those who knew him best, was at the helm of the business. Only 298 bottles of this single cask whisky are available, highlighting the scarcity of this rarely seen vintage from Speyside’s Glen Grant Distillery."

Looking for a great value 50-year-old single malt? Look no further! This is 50-year-old Gordon & MacPhail sherry cask matured Speyside whisky, so you know its going to be good. They could name the distillery it's from, but then they would have to double the price... We have some ideas though, and if you ask nicely maybe we'll whisper it in your ear!
Bottled at 46%, this is great value, 50-year-old whisky for drinking. There are other 50-year-old single malts out there, but they will set you back $15,000.00 to $70,000.00 or more!

About the Mr. George Legacy Collection
"George Urquhart, or ‘Mr George’ as he was known, joined his father, John at the family business ninety years ago in 1933 and became a key advocate of single malt whisky at a time when most whisky went into blends. ‘The father of single malt’ as he’s been called, Mr George was a firm believer in the importance of guiding principles, passed down to future generations. The Third Edition in the Legacy range pays tribute to his beliefs and vision – and features whisky from our last ever cask from 1959."

This whisky is from Gordon & MacPhail’s last cask – from any distillery – from 1959."
