Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice Glenlivet 17 Year 2003

Gordon & MacPhail’s 17-year Glenlivet draws from two refill bourbon casks. The cask choice offers a focused way to explore mature Speyside malt without a sherry finish dominating the production story.

Key details

• Origin: Speyside, Scotland
• Age: 17 years
• Two refill bourbon casks
• Bottled by Gordon & MacPhail

Pairing & serving

Serve neat with a little water, alongside toasted almonds or a simple apple dessert. No decanting is needed.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
