Glenlivet 27 Year Old 1996 Connoisseurs Choice Gordon & MacPhail 70cl, 52.9%

Description

Glenlivet 27 Year Old 1996 Connoisseurs Choice Gordon & MacPhail 70cl, 52.9% is a mature Speyside single malt Scotch whisky bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for the Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength range. Distilled in 1996 and bottled after 27 years of maturation, this release presents Glenlivet’s classic fruit-led Speyside character with the added concentration of a single refill American hogshead.

This bottle is especially appealing because it combines age, vintage, cask strength and limited single cask identity. The refill American hogshead allows the whisky’s lighter honeyed and tropical fruit notes to remain clear, while long maturation adds creamy sweetness, soft oak structure and a refined, elegant finish.

Bottled at 52.9% from cask number 24316, with only 285 bottles released, this is a precise and collectible Gordon & MacPhail expression. It is a strong choice for whisky drinkers who enjoy mature Speyside whisky with honey, clementine, tropical fruit, citrus, roasted peanuts, vanilla fudge and poached pear.

Collector’s Note

This bottle has strong collector appeal because it brings together a high age statement, a 1996 vintage, a single cask number and a small outturn of only 285 bottles. These details give the release a clear identity and make it more desirable than a standard wider-release expression.

It is also attractive because mature Glenlivet bottlings from respected independent bottlers are often sought after by collectors who value classic Speyside style in a more limited and cask-focused presentation. The refill American hogshead maturation gives this whisky elegance, brightness and balance, while the cask strength bottling preserves its natural depth.
