Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Gordon & MacPhail Glenlivet 70

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail

ABV: 45.9%

Score: 96 Points

Currently the oldest single malt Scotch whisky ever bottled after 70 years in an American Oak sherry butt, and as fresh and vibrant as whiskies half its age! The nose is pineapple, furniture polish, and beeswax with a touch of vanilla. The taste has peat smoke, vanilla, pineapple, a hint of mangoes, and a slightly waxy mouthfeel while remaining smooth and well-balanced. The finish is amazingly long and slightly smoky with dried fruits, especially banana and pineapple. A really stunning whisky!
