Description

Connoisseurs Choice is one of the most easily recognised ranges from the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail. This range was launched by George Urquhart - one of the first of four generations of the family to build Gordon & MacPhail - back in the 1960s; a period where most malts were used in blends so this was quite an unusual move for the company.

Nose
Yellow plums, cane sugar and malty biscuits. Some softer notes of red grape, powdered sugar and Garibaldi biscuits, a raisin note really pushes through. There is a saltiness, too. Very reminiscent of Old Pulteney.
Palate
Light, fresh, grassy and very clean. It reminds me of Balblair 12 Year Old, but with the alcohol turned down. A little richer to taste with banana bread and gentle brown sugar notes.
Finish
The banana flavour really lasts with this, but now they're green and under ripe. An amazing honey note comes crashing out of nowhere, then an almost sourdough bread taste. A little more savoury with saltiness running the show.
