Rosebank 1989 (Bottled 2000) Connoisseurs Choice / 40% / 0.7l

Connoisseurs Choice is one of the oldest whisky series in the Gordon & MacPhail portfolio.

It debuted in the mid-1960s, when most Scottish malt distilleries were producing for blenders, not even considering promoting their whiskies as single malts. Today, half a century later, Connoisseurs Choice is still a successful competitor in the single malt market and has its devoted fans. Rosebank's 2000 Edition was distilled in 1989 and aged in refill sherry hogsheads and bourbon casks.
