What Does John Know? Gordon & MacPhail introduces world’s oldest whisky.
“Released under Gordon & MacPhail’s ‘Generations’ brand, Mortlach 70 Years Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky was finally revealed – and tasted – by special guests at a launch in the atmospheric setting of Edinburgh Castle’s Queen Anne Room. One precious bottle of Mortlach was piped into the Castle, escorted by guards from The Highlanders (4th Battalion).” Via Belle de Jour’s Twitter.

To be honest, I’d get impatient too. I believe I’ve told the story of my father and adopted grandfather finding the 1860’s cognac back in the 50’s. It’s not supposed to mellow in-bottle, but Dad used to rave about that cognac.

3788.75 U.S. dollars for 20cl? OMG!
Anyway, what I want to know is how they decided on 70 years. Why not 50 or 100? Was it supposed to be 100 because that would make a lot more sense and the boy got impatient?
