Product description
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 produced for blending companies, not even trying to promote their whiskies in a single malt version. Today, Connoisseurs Choice still successfully competes in the single malt market and has its devoted fans. Craigellachie 1997 is a whisky distilled at a time when the distillery still belonged to the UDV concern (today Diageo) and produced for the needs of the concern's blends. A year later, it was owned by Bacardi Martini. Craigellachie is one of the main components of White Horse and Dewar's blends.
