Product description
Connoisseurs Choice is one of the oldest whisky series in the Gordon & MacPhail portfolio.
It debuted in the mid-1960s thanks to George Urquhart, a second-generation member of the Gordon & MacPhail family and a great whisky visionary. At the time, most Scottish malt distilleries produced for blenders, not even considering promoting their whiskies as single malts. Today, more than half a century later, Connoisseurs Choice is still a successful competitor in the single malt market and has its devoted fans. The Edradour presented here is a proposal from the 1980s – a whisky distilled in 1973, when the distillery was still owned by William Whiteley & Co., and aged in oak barrels for 14 years.

Palate : honey, toffee, caramel, vanilla, orange peel, dried plums and cherries, allspice, a drop of soy sauce, notes of peat and oak.
