A review of the Glenlivet 1949 74 Years from Gordon & MacPhail, the oldest Glenlivet ever released and the company's last-ever 1949 cask from Glenlivet Distillery.
As an appetizer to Gordon & MacPhail's forthcoming release of the oldest Scotch whisky in the world, I take a closer look at three different Glenlivet from 2004, 2003, and 1976.
For years now, Glenlivet has been the second best-selling single malt whisky in the world, bested only by Glenfiddich. In the United States they are actually all the way at the top.
Two recent exclusives from The Whisky Exchange, released in conjuction with Gordon & MacPhail. Similar in age, but very different in style, the Glenturret and Glenlivet sit at either end of the non-peated whisky spectrum.
