Until this time, many of the whiskies the range featured would not have been available as single malt.
Today, 'Connoisseurs Choice' retains this exclusive nature with a range of rare and sought after single malts from distilleries throughout Scotland.
A classical and superb Connoisseurs Choice old map label expression.
A 1984 vintage Mannochmore from independent bottler Gordon & Macphail as part of the Connoisseurs Choice series.
A 5cl Miniature, this was bottled in 2001, judging by the colour, from a sherry cask.
"Please note, due to age and evaporation some miniature may be short filler."
Nose: Sweet with oranges. Hints of chocolate and coffee develop and the nose soon evolves towards red fruit to end in a soft, sweet nose.
Palate: Hints of spice are present throughout with loads of wood and surprisingly smoky. Chocolate returns giving this palate a rich edge.
Finish: Long, spicy and warming.
