On 3rd February 1940 in a quiet corner in the north of Scotland, George Urquhart and his father, John, had the extraordinary foresight and vision to lay down spirit from Glenlivet Distillery in a bespoke Gordon & MacPhail cask to be enjoyed by future generations. The stunning concept and presentation of the Generations 80YO was created by internationally acclaimed architect and designer, Sir David Adjaye OBE.


On 5th February 2020, leaning on the unique skill and experience acquired by over more than 125 years, the decision was taken to finally bottle the cask’s precious out-turn of 250 decanters.


From whisky writer, Charlie MacLean: "A complex, mellow nose-feel, still vivacious after all these years. Top notes of almond oil, scented hand-soap, backed by sandalwood and gorse flowers on a warm day. A whiff of peat-smoke in the empty glass. An oily texture, and lightly sweet to start, drying elegantly, towards a lengthy menthol finish. Vibrant and wholly satisfying. One of the finest malts I have ever encountered. "


As part of the project launch, colleagues at Gordon & MacPhail have been actively involved in personally planting trees – including oaks - at Glen Affric as part of our partnership with charity partner, Trees for Life. With a mission to rewild The Caledonian Forest, Trees for Life will receive proceeds, minus costs, from the Sotheby’s auction of Generations decanter #1 in Hong Kong on 2nd October 2021.
