Whiskies bottled from the new 'Private Collection' have been personally selected by members of the Urquhart family that has owned Gordon & MacPhail for four generations. Each is a unique and exquisite chapter in Scotland's history of whisky.
"When a whisky from our Private Collection leaves it's spiritual home in Elgin, it's like saying farewell to a family friend."
Stephen Rankin, Director of Prestige - Member of the Fourth Generation of the Urquhart family
Tasting Notes by Gordon & MacPhail:
Nose: Sweet sherried aromas weave into layers of roasted hazelnut, soft fudge, milk chocolate, and plump, rum-soaked raisins. Flashes of fresh citrus peel break through and, combined with polish notes, balance the sweetness.
Taste: Smooth and spicy; warm demerara sugar disperses over warming chilli, cinnamon, and clove spice flavours. Intense, thick-cut orange marmalade notes unfold into a lingering charred oak edge.
Finish: Long, spicy, refined, and well-balanced.
