Vintage Moments by G&M in partnership with Sir Kenny Dalglish

Vintage Moments

Vintage Moments by Gordon & MacPhail provides the privilege of owning chapters of Scotland’s liquid history - a legacy crafted with intention, patience and artistry – tailored specifically to the individual. This unique opportunity will be extended to a very small number of private clients each year to sample single malts and select five from pivotal years in their life. Each whisky will be hand-drawn from each cask, bottled at cask strength - the only expression of each particular single malt that will ever exist.

Gordon & MacPhail are the only company in the world to possess single malts from every vintage from 1948 to the present day. These whiskies are time capsules; liquid treasures of profound rarity, each shaped by decades of quiet maturation and the unwavering dedication of the family-owned business over four generations.

Sir Kenny Dalglish

To celebrate this special service, Gordon & MacPhail worked alongside Sir Kenny Dalglish to curate five rare Scotch single malt whiskies distilled in five years relating to landmark moments in his life. A true football legend with a remarkable personal history, Sir Kenny Dalglish was born in 1951 and is regarded as one of the greatest strikers in post-war British football. He is one of Celtic's, Liverpool's and Scotland’s most admired figures, with a huge number of fans all around the world.

“Selecting these single malts was a real privilege. I've been fortunate to experience some wonderful moments throughout my life and choosing just five years that meant the most wasn't easy. I'm looking forward to sharing the stories behind those choices and hope people enjoy discovering them as much as I enjoyed making the selection,” Sir Kenny Dalglish

The Liquid Legacy

Just 15 box sets curated by Sir Kenny, each featuring five 70cl bottles of ultra-rare single malt whisky, will ever be available. Each comes with a signed book featuring a foreword by Henry Winter. Plus, those who secure their purchase in October will be invited with a friend to an exclusive event in London to meet Sir Kenny in person in November 2026.

Each set is available for £100,000.

DEBUT APPEARANCE

“Everything has to start somewhere, and for me it started in Dalmarnock on 4 March 1951. I was lucky to grow up in a close family with parents who worked hard and gave us every opportunity. Looking back now, those early years shaped the values that stayed with me throughout my life, both in football and away from it.” Sir Kenny Dalglish

INTO THE LION'S DEN

“Watching Celtic win the European Cup made every young player at the club believe anything was possible. I was fortunate enough to
begin pre season with the first team that summer, and before long I had signed professionally. It felt like the beginning of a journey,
although at the time I couldn’t have imagined where football would eventually take me.!” Sir Kenny Dalglish

1974

From Strathisla Distillery, 55% ABV

TEAMMATES FOR LIFE

“I was lucky enough to win a few doubles during my football career, but the best double of all was marrying Marina on her birthday. It certainly made remembering our anniversary a bit easier. People often say that behind every successful man there’s a good woman. I don’t think that’s right. Marina has never been behind me. She’s always been beside me. Whatever football brought our way, we faced it together, and I couldn’t have asked for a better teammate.” Sir Kenny Dalglish

IT'S NOT A REHEARSAL

“Leaving Celtic was one of the hardest decisions I ever made. The club had given me everything and I owed so much to Jock Stein, my teammates and the supporters. But football doesn’t wait for anyone and I felt it was the right time to challenge myself. Looking back now, joining Liverpool changed my life in ways I could never have imagined.” Sir Kenny Dalglish

THE FAIRYTALE

“Winning the Premier League with Blackburn will always be a special memory. Jack Walker believed in the club, believed in the people around him and gave us every opportunity to succeed. We had a fantastic group of players and staff who worked tirelessly for one another. To win the title was an incredible achievement, and doing it at Anfield made for one of football’s more unusual stories.” Sir Kenny Dalglish
