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: vanilla pod aromas give way to green apple notes and a hint of tangerine. Lime zest leads to subtle brown sugar and charred oak.
Palate: Toasted almonds combine with soft citrus notes and pineapple. Poached pear and aniseed combine with a hint of honeycomb.
Finish: A medium-bodied finish with smooth fruits and mixed nuts.
