Description

This is a Highland Park 1970 vintage, bottled in 2008 by Gordon & MacPhail as part of their Rare Old series. Founded in 1895, Gordon & 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 the oldest single malt whisky 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 ranges including the Rare Old series. [cite: Scotch Whisky Auctions, 2, 4, 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 32]

Nose
Impressive and charming nose with rich green, stemmy hay notes, hints of heather roots, boiled sweets, acacia honey, eucalyptus oil, light caramel, vanilla, and a mild savoury tone.
Palate
A very pleasant, rich, and smooth taste with a chewy mouthfeel. Velvety layers of dark chocolate, caramel, and ripe berries dance on the palate, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla and warm spices, dark sugar, toasty cereal, honeyed sweetness, liquorice, and a nuttiness.
Finish
Elegant, long-lasting, and warming with spice and an earthen character, and a subtle smokiness.
