Glenlivet 1940 Gordon and MacPhail 70 Year Old Press Pack & Miniature / Generations 2012

The following lot is for a Gordon & MacPhail press-pack that was distributed to whisky journalists and bloggers upon the 2012 release of the 70 year old Glenlivet.

Distilled at the height of the second world war in 1940, during a period where rationing had slashed whisky production by over a third and just prior to Glenlivet ceasing production for full 3 years, with the grim realities of the international stage casting the shadow of doubt over whether it would ever even re-open again. Cask #339 was then largely forgotten about, left to mature in the mothballed warehouses of the distillery as the world fell apart and was rebuilt around it.

Included in the pack is a beautiful book that goes into extraordinary detail regarding the story of this whisky, a USB card which presumably will carry digital information and finally a small sample of the whisky itself. 

Please note that the whisky sample gives no indication as the its exact bottle size.
