Introducing The World's Oldest Single Malt Scotch Whisky - Glenlivet 1940 85 Year Old - Artistry in Oak. On 3rd February 1940 in a quiet corner of the north-east of Scotland, George Urquhart and his father, John, had the extraordinary foresight and vision to lay down spirit from Glenlivet Distillery in a Gordon & MacPhail American oak cask to be enjoyed after his lifetime by future generations.
George Urquhart, or ‘Mr George’ as he was fondly known by those who knew him best, knew he would never taste it. Only when the whisky was deemed ready would it be shared. Leaning on the family’s unique skills and experience, the time for Cask 336 came to be 85 years – longer than any other single malt Scotch whisky in history. On 5th February 2025, the decision was taken to end the whisky’s quiet slumber.
A total of 125 decanters of the 85 years old whisky were bottled. Gordon & MacPhail has collaborated with internationally acclaimed American architect Jeanne Gang, to create a unique decanter to house the world’s most precious whisky to date.
