Gordon & MacPhail Milton 1949 72 Year Old 'Private Collection' is a Speyside single malt distilled in 1949 at the Milton Distillery, known today as Strathisla. It is the oldest single malt from Gordon & MacPhail to carry the Milton name, and the last.

The nose combines baked forest fruits, rich sherry, vanilla pod, Seville orange, festive spice and soft lemon zest. On the palate come butterscotch, citrus, nutmeg, apple pie and caramel, with baked apple, poached pear and honeycomb. The finish is long, with apple, dark toffee and a hint of smoke.
