Balblair 1998, 50.5% - Connoisseurs Choice (Gordon & MacPhail) Whisky

Created by George Urquhart in 1968, the Connoisseur's Choice range provided a platform for lesser known distilleries to showcase their single malts. At this time, most spirit was used in blended whiskies so this range was unique, pioneering and ever-changing. To date there have been more than 2,000 bottlings from almost 100 Scottish distilleries.

Each Connoisseur's Choice label details the whisky’s story: cask type, bottling date, strength, vintage and tasting note.

Nose: fragrant lime zest aaromas infuse with red apple and marzipan.

Palate: honeycomb flavours give way to creamy notes of banana and peach.

A medium bodied finish with lingering charred oak and citrus.
