Description

Founded in 1895, Gordon and MacPhail has been bottling single malt whiskies for 120 years and by the 1950s it held the largest range of bottled malt whiskies in the world. This family-run business has bottled one of the oldest single malt whiskies in the world - a Mortlach 1939 75 Year Old - as well as being a distiller itself after buying Benromach in 1993. They bottle whisky across several range. This Caledonian 1980 is a 39 Year Old Single Grain Scotch Whisky from a now-closed distillery, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail as part of their ultra-premium Private Collection series. It was matured in a single refill American oak hogshead and limited to just 111 hand-blown crystal decanters.

Nose
Sweet pineapple and baked apple aromas are complemented by hints of beeswax polish. Soft cane sugar comes to the fore alongside white chocolate and vanilla pod.
Palate
Soft black pepper and cocoa powder flavours lead to sweet, dried mango. Subtle notes of candied lime and mouth-warming ginger transform into fresh banana bread.
Finish
Long lasting and vibrant with lingering fruit and soft pepper on the finish.
