Gordon & MacPhail are set to launch four very rare old whiskies to mark the steady transition of the family-owned business from 3rd to 4th generation of family owners.
The 4 rare whiskies will be released under the prestigious Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection Ultra label this autumn.
The four Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection Ultra whiskies are:
Linkwood 1953 61 Year Old
Glenlivet 1952 62 Year Old
Mortlach 1951 63 Year Old
Strathisla 1957 57 Year Old

I've got the following three G&M Private Collection bottlings (in remote storage):-
Linkwood 1959 49/50 year old
Glenlivet 1959 49/50 year old
Mortlach 1957 50 year old
If memory serves, I paid around £900 in total for this trio of sherried, single cask bottlings.
Would that I could go back in time and buy the others that I left on the shelves. |

| eelbrook, I doubt you will get any of the 4 new releases anywhere near the price you paid for yours. I would love to try the Mortlach and Glenlivet |

"The UK recommended retail price will be £6,250 for each decanter".
All I can say is wow.....

That is quite an indication of the way premium whisky prices have gone in just the past 4 or 5 years.
eelbrook i am sure the prices of these latest Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection whiskies put a smile on your face. |

£6,250 a bottle really is a different league. |

| I actually think that that the past bottles from the G&M Private Collection ticked all the boxes - but then I'm biased when it comes to uber-dark sherried bottlings. |

I do wonder who these are aimed at. There must be a market for them in the world (probably the far east).
It's a shame that 99% of people now priced out of the market! |

There are only about seventy of each new decanter, so they should sell.
That having been saiid, there are still plenty of 70yos on shop shelves. |
