Gordon & MacPhail ‘Connoisseurs Choice’ Dufftown 1998 (13 year old) 43%
Refill Sherry Hogshead/ Dist: Dec 1998 Btl: Mar 2011/ Tasted: July 2011
A lovely, fresh, citrusy, grassy and herbal nose. Quite elegant and fruity with a touch of old straw. Soft and a touch confected on the palate and slightly watery. Fairly straightforward, yet a pleasant depth of straw like fruits.
A good length with the alcohol barrelling through on the finish along with hints of burnt caramel. Pleasant spicy after taste though. In conclusion: Pleasant if a bit unremarkable.
