The rare whisky is bottled at 49.1% ABV, with official tasting notes that speak of a rich amber color and aromas of stewed fruit, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and toasted oak. To taste, the whisky provides sweet orange peel, cherry, burnt sugar and dried fig with a fruity finale balance with aniseed and sherry.
“Since 1895 Gordon & MacPhail has released single malts from over 100 distilleries, many of which are lesser-known or closed,” said Stephen Rankin, a fourth-generation member of Gordon & MacPhail’s owning family, in a prepared statement. “The anniversary series is a true homage to this endeavour.”
Gordan & MacPhail is a 125-year-old independent family-owned firm and malt whisky specialist. The company has gone through over four generations of family ownership and matched spirits from over 100 Scottish distilleries to its own casks.
