Description
A collection created in 1968 by ‘Mr George’ Urquhart, a man considered to be a whisky visionary, the Connoisseurs Choice range has had more than 2,000 bottles added to it over the intervening years, from almost 100 Scottish distilleries! Each bottling in this iconic collection is a small batch expression chosen and created by Gordon & MacPhail’s unique expertise in matching spirit to oak casks, an expertise that’s been passed through the generations.
This bottling comes from Speyside distillery Glenrothes and was matured for 16 years in a First Fill Sherry Puncheon before being bottled at 55.5% abv. On the nose, fragrant fruitcake meets raspberry and cinnamon spice. The taste is all stewed fruit, brown sugar, and a hint of aniseed. The finish is full and long with forest fruits.
