| Review #599 |
This is a
1974 vintage miniature from Gordon & MacPhail’s “Connoisseurs Choice”
series, probably bottled in the nineties. Sweet and fruity in the smell. Plums
and baked apples. Some oak, vanilla and nuts as well.
Very sweet
in the taste. Burned caramel, vanilla and some dried fruits in the end.
Actually, the dried fruits are staying all the way, and is the dominant part in
the finish with some sugary sweetness. Prunes and sweet raisins perhaps. Some
oak and spices is present as well all the way.
It starts a bit slow, on the verge to boring, in
the smell, but the taste and finish is very flavourful. It is not often I drink
40% whiskies and don´t miss a bit higher ABV! Shows that quality casks are
essential in making quality whisky! I will give this 85/100 (21/22/21/21).
