Special features: This 40-year-old single malt from the renowned Tormore distillery was exclusively bottled by Gordon & MacPhail as part of the Private Collection. The whisky matured in a refill sherry puncheon, which emphasizes its complexity and depth. The limitation to 675 bottles and the packaging in an elegant wooden box make it a coveted collector's item.
