Product Description

This utterly spectacular 42 year old Islay single malt was laid to sleep at the Port Ellen distillery on the 28th January 1981 and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for their Private Collection on the 6th February 2023.

Charged from refill sherry butt number 290 at a natural strength 52.5% ABV, this is one of just 181 bottles exclusively bottled for the G&M Recollection Series that scored a huge 93 points on WhiskyFun and comes housed in a gem of an oak presentation case with unique decanter and COA.

The Recollection Series are annual releases that offer a unique opportunity for whisky enthusiasts and collectors to enjoy forgotten masterpieces that have been lying in wait at the G&M warehouse.
