Crafted to honor the legacy of George Urquhart, affectionately known as Mr. George, this Gordon & MacPhail special edition pays tribute to his significant contributions to the whisky world. Recognized as ‘the father of single malt,’ George, a second-generation owner of the company, introduced the Connoisseurs Choice range in 1968, featuring single malts originally destined for blending, including his personal favorite, Glen Grant.
Part of the Legacy series, this 1959 Glen Grant spent an impressive 63 years maturing in a first-fill sherry butt before being bottled at its natural cask strength.
The result is a whisky with rich autumnal spices and dried fruit aromas, while the palate unfolds with red fruits, berries, Seville oranges, and oaky cocoa, leading to a finish filled with cinnamon. Undoubtedly, an expression that reflects the pride George Urquhart would have in his legacy.
