J. Emmison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at 90 Proof (51.4% ABV), this whisky was distilled in 1959 during Scotch whisky's post-war boom, when international demand for Scotch was growing rapidly and Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail was maturing stocks that would later become some of its most celebrated releases. Produced decades before Smith's Glenlivet became simply Glenlivet, vintage-dated bottlings from this era are increasingly difficult to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe personalised \"Private Reserve of W. J. Emmison\" label makes this an especially unusual survivor. Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail occasionally produced bespoke bottlings for private individuals and valued customers, with each release made in extremely limited numbers. As a result, examples such as this are exceptionally scarce and rarely come to auction, representing a fascinating piece of both Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail and Smith's Glenlivet history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58490005324157,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Smiths Glenlivet 1959-1973 - Gordon \u0026 MacPhail - Private Reserve Of W.
