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 particular bottling comes from Orkney distillery Highland Park, and was matured for 17 years in a First Fill Sherry Butt before being bottled at 59.9% abv. On the nose there are fragrant notes of raisins and well as citrus, and nuts. The taste is full of freshly pressed apples and soft fudge, with hints of chilli. With a medium finish, you’ll be left with lingering spice notes well after the first sip.
