'George Legacy 1959' is a 63-year-old matured whiskey, a tribute whiskey honoring the achievements of pioneer George Urquhart, who first introduced single malt whiskey and developed it through industrialization. After searching distilleries across Scotland to create single malt whiskey with the finest casks and original spirits, it was distilled in October 1959 at the Glen Grant Distillery on the northern outskirts of Scotland and released last November in a limited run of only 368 bottles.


As George Legacy 1959 has matured for a long 63 years, it presents a complex and diverse range of flavors and aromas. The nose reveals rich dried fruits and citrus zest, while the first sip offers sweetness of stewed fruits, orange, mint, and raspberry tart, along with subtle notes of cocoa powder and aged oak. The finish is full-bodied and lingering with cinnamon and fruity aromas.


Stewart Urquhart, G&M's Managing Director and grandson of George Urquhart, explained, "Despite its long 63-year aging, George Legacy 1959 maintains an intense flavor at 56.5% ABV," adding, "George Legacy 1959 is like a legacy left to whiskey enthusiasts who enjoy the rich complexity of single malt and to our family."



The newly released 'G&M George Legacy 1959' has been imported in very limited quantities to Korea. Detailed information can be found through Wine Nara, the G&M brand store, or the G&M official website.
