G&M Connoisseurs Choice Mortlach 1989

Gordon & MacPhail describe the Connoisseurs Choice range as 'non-chill filtered ... always' These single cask and small batch expressions offer an ever-changing collection of unique perspectives on distilleries' own bottlings. Distilled in 1989, aged in a refill sherry hogshead and bottled on November 4, 2020. Total outturn: 327 bottles.

Nose: Rich dark Chocolate and creamy fudge aromas are complemented by subtle cinnamon spice. Orange Oil develops alongside brown sugar and sweet strawberry jam.

Palate: Fruitcake flavours with a hint of praline leads to an undertone of fresh chillies. Stewed raisin slowly transforms into fresh raspberry compote with a slight oakiness.

Finish: A long finish with lingering milk chocolate and subtle dried tobacco.
