Description

A storied distillery in the Sutherland area of Scotland. Despite having closed in 1983, it developed cult status for the high quality single malt it had produced, particularly a peated style between 1969 and 1973. Such was its popularity, it was eventually rebuilt by Diageo and opened again in 2021. One of Scotland's most iconic and long-running independent bottling brands. Introduced by Gordon & MacPhail, Connoisseurs Choice is one of the most easily recognised ranges from the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail. This range was launched by George Urquhart - one of the first of four generations of the family to build Gordon & MacPhail - back in the 1960s; a period where most malts were used in blends so this was quite an unusual move for the company. Perhaps due to the popularity surrounding blend.

Nose
Elegant notes of beeswax, dried flowers, vanilla and ripe white fruits. Followed by gentle smoke, soft peat and hints of spicy oak and citrus oil.
Palate
Soft and complex with flavours of stewed apple, heather honey, light ash and peppery spice. A touch of maritime salt and old wax add depth and distinct Brora character.
Finish
Long and subtly smoky with notes of leather, dried herbs, salty minerality and a softly drying oak finish.
