Description

A lesser-known Speyside distillery that spent most of its life providing fillings for blended Scotch brands. Established in 1897, it was acquired by the Distillers Company in 1925 and closed by them sixty years later in 1985. Its warehouses are now the operational home of Aceo Spirits and Murray McDavid. This is a 1972 vintage Coleburn, bottled in 1996 as part of Gordon & MacPhail's iconic and long-running Connoisseurs Choice independent bottling series.

Nose
Honey is the first thing mentioned. Not that sweet commercial honey, but a honeycomb with the bees still buzzing around it. Also fresh notes befitting white wine and especially older white Burgundy. Vanilla, caramel and some copper notes.
Palate
Apple pie with vanilla cream and sea salt butter that is lightly burnt. Hints of tar and dark tea (lapsang souchong), but also a touch of acidity as we know from fino sherry. The tasters are clear, this is hard to compare with other distilleries. Full, round and a hint of smoky.
Finish
The finish is medium-long. The 40% alcohol is a shame, because with a little more alcohol this would have been a real masterpiece. Now it is a very good performance from Coleburn distillery.
