The result of more than 120 years in the pursuit of perfection, matching cask with spirit. The Connoisseurs Choice range exemplifies Gordon and MacPhail’s unrivaled commitment to single malt scotch whisky.

An ever-changing collection of unique perspectives on distilleries’ own bottlings. Always non-chill-filtered, these single cask and small batch expressions, are exceptional one-offs. For the malt whisky explorer, it promises a journey of discovery through different flavours, finishes, strengths, and vintages.

Aged 35 years in oak casks.

Notes: Fragrant lime zest aromas give way to fresh-cut grass and toasted almonds. Sweet nectarine and mango flavors are followed by peanuts and charred oak. A spicy finish with citrus fruit.
