This latest limited-edition release, was bottled on 6th February, the date of the Queen’s accession, and is said to serve as a fitting tribute, exemplifying how character, patience and wisdom can mature over decades to deliver an exceptional legacy.
In support of the Queen’s ‘green canopy’ initiative and
build on the successful 2021 partnership with Scottish charity Trees for Life,
Gordon & MacPhail is donating a further £20,000 from the proceeds of the
release.
Commenting on the launch, Ewen Mackintosh, Gordon &
MacPhail Managing Director, said: “It’s an honour to release this exceptional
single malt whisky to commemorate Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Matured over seven decades in our own casks this single malt provides an
opportunity to enjoy a style of Speyside whisky which is distinctly different
to those created today.”
He went onto say: “Our approach to ensuring our casks, made
from the highest quality wood to our exact specifications, is a one which sits
right at the heart of our business. We want to do our bit to support The
Queen’s ‘Green Canopy’ initiative by continuing our successful partnership with
Tress for Life. The monies donated from this release will provide funding for
their nursery which grows 100,000 rare and native trees, including oaks, from
seed each year. It’s fitting that this whisky will provide a legacy that will
last for generations.”
Limited to 256 bottles, Gordon & MacPhail Private
Collection 1952 from Glen Grant Distillery, will be available later this month
from specialist retailers, for a RRP of £20,000.
