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: Citrus aromas give way to butterscotch and apple

Palate: Poached pear flavours complement tropical fruit and vanilla fudge

Finish: A medium-bodied finish with lingering pineapple and soft smoke
