- Description
- Coleburn's 1972 distillate, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 2000 after more than 27 years of maturation, represents a whisky from Scotland's closed distilleries—Coleburn ceased production in 1985. At 40% ABV and bottled under the Connoisseurs Choice label, this light-coloured Speyside expression carries the elegance of long, patient maturation and the rarity value of a defunct distillery's stock. The extended cask aging will have developed subtle wood spice, honey, and dried fruit notes within a delicate frame. A whisky for collectors and those honouring Scotland's distilling heritage.
