Description

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.

Nose
fairly neutral. Apples, oranges, grassy notes. A little pepper. Hints of furniture wax, which is nice, but also wet cardboard. A dusty, even slightly peaty touch as well.
Palate
sweeter than expected, orange juice, yellow plums and vanilla cream. Some smooth grainy notes. Closer to an old blend, I'd say.
Finish
not too long and quite flavourless.
