Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jan 1972
A 1972 vintage from Gordon and MacPhail, matured in refill sherry butts. The Millburn distillery is now closed, so any whisky is decidedly rare.
The nose is fresh and floral. Notes of marzipan and pine oil, hints of fresh cut herbs and fraises des bois. The palate is quite full and fruity. Notes of fruit salad, piña colada and dry oily wood smoke. A syrupy note with a touch of gammon and wood shavings. The finish is long and gently smoked with a little peppery heat.
