Glenlivet 1965-2006 | Gordon & MacPhailSpeyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl 43% A 1965 Glenlivet bottled in 2006 by G&M after 40 years of ageing. As ever this is a true treat of a dram, overflowing with a huge and varied fruitiness, honey, spice, chocolate and all kinds of sub complexities. Marvellous whisky once again from G&M and still terrific value compared to the official alternatives.
