Gordon and MacPhail-bottled Glenlivet (need help!)
In the next month or so, I'll probably be stopping through Bloomington, IN where the Big Red Liquors store has an outstanding selection of Scotch, including lots of merchant bottlings from Signatory (picked up a Signatory-bottled, non-chill filtered Highland Park 14YO there last time that was outstanding), Gordon and MacPhail, and others.
One thing that stood out last time I was there was a Gordon and MacPhail merchant bottling of 15YO Glenlivet. The label looks something like this... LINK ...though I understand there are a few different G&McP bottlings that have different colored labels for different proofs, I'm not sure if what I saw in the store was that one or a lower proof one. According to the old 80's edition of Jackson's World Guide to Whisky, G&McP bottled green-labeled 40 proof, a blue-labeled 46 proof, and a red-labeled 57 proof (I have no clue if all of those are still bottled anymore, google hasn't been too helpful so far). So, for you whisky aficionados who have tried these merchant bottlings, is the Gordon and MacPhail bottled Glenlivet worth it, or am I just better off buying the distillery-bottled 12YO or 15YO French Oak versions for the money? |
