Glen Gordon 1974 Sestante 15 Year Old / Antica Casa Marchsi Spinola 

This 15 year old single malt was distilled in 1974 and matured in sherry wood casks. It is part of a Sestante series bottled in 1990 for the Antica Casa Marchesi Spinola.

The Sestante import company was founded in the 1970s by Ernesto Mainardi, and he bottled his first single casks under the name in 1985. Alongside his contemporary, Silvano Samaroli, Mainardi pioneered giving his customers a choice of both standard 40-46% bottlings, and cask strength releases from the same casks. Along with his other brand, Silver Seal, Mainardi's bottlings are incredibly sought after.

There is no such distillery as Glen Gordon, this is a mystery whisky bottled by Gordon & MacPhail. Sestante purchased many casks of this from the Elgin bottlers, as well as their Glen Avon over the years. While Mainardi has claimed that Glen Avon was a Glenfarclas single malt, Glen Gordon is rumoured to be Macallan...

This bottle is being sold from the Pat's Whisk(e)y private collection which, numbering in excess of 9,000 bottles and over 2,000 miniatures, is the single largest collection of whisky ever to be brought to auction.
