Tasting Notes
A symphony of autumn spices, sweet dried fruits, and Demerara sugar captivates the nose, accompanied by subtle hints of citrus zest, beeswax polish, and walnuts. On the palate, a delightful dance unfolds with stewed red fruit flavors leading the way, followed by tangy Seville orange notes and a refreshing whisper of garden mint. Tart raspberry accents join the revelry, mingling with cocoa powder and the mature embrace of oak. The grand finale lingers, a full finish graced by the warmth of cinnamon and the luscious notes of forest fruits. This remarkable 63-year-old single malt from Glen Grant, distilled in 1959 and patiently matured in a single first-fill sherry butt, was bottled in 2022 at a robust 56.5% ABV, a testament to time's magic. Merely 368 bottles of this liquid treasure were released, a cherished addition to Gordon & MacPhail's Mr. George Legacy series, honoring George Urquhart's legacy as the visionary behind the Connoisseurs Choice range.
