This single malt from Speyside's Glendullan joins the independent Connoisseurs Choice collection from Gordon & MacPhail. Distilled in 2009, it was initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels, before being transferred to ex-Côte Rôtie wine casks for a generous three year finishing period. Bottled up at 12 years old in February 2022, a total of 3,245 bottles were released.
Buttery vanilla and sweet roasted barley, with floral grapes and summer fruits balancing herbal zest.
Citrus honey and delicate blossom lead to more earthen notes of vanilla pod and anise. Quite herbaceous at times, with nutty malt and jam tarts beneath.
Toasted walnuts and charred oak, pressed berries, with soft prickles of spice.
