- Description
- Distilled in 1970 and bottled in 1992 by Gordon & MacPhail for their Connoisseurs Choice range, this Dalwhinnie shows the typical Highland character of honey and gentle smoke with additional notes of beeswax, dried herbs and orchard fruit. The palate develops pepper, pear and caramel with undertones of liquorice, mint and herbal tea, displaying the complexity that decades in oak can achieve. At 22 years of age when bottled, it bridges the distillery's lighter, floral profile with deeper oak influence. A period piece that appeals to collectors of independent bottlings and those seeking vintage Highland whisky character.
