product Details

Glenlivet 1961 Gordon and MacPhail

Well-known as the oldest licensed distillery in Scotland, for many years ‘Glenlivet’ was a byword for quality, with many single malts using the Glenlivet suffix in attempt to reap the benefits of associating themselves with the Banffshire distillery. Indeed, owners Pernod Ricard now put a heavy focus on the brand being ‘The Glenlivet’, encouraging their consumers not to accept any imitations. Glenlivet is in a long-running battle with Glenfiddich for the title of best-selling single malt, with both now selling over a million cases a year.  

A 1961 vintage, this was bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1980s.

Bottled here using the classic George & J.G. Smith's branding, licensed out by the distillery to a number of companies in the mid-to-later 20th century in order to bottle their single malt. Gordon & MacPhail are perhaps the most prolific of these, and continue to use the branding today as part of their Distillery Labels series.
