Independent Bottling

By Gordon & MacPhail

Limited Edition

Single Malt

Edited in 2018

Almost Unpeated

Launched in 2018, the Discovery range is one of the five collections from bottler Gordon & MacPhail. It is undoubtedly the most accessible to the general public, with non-vintage bottlings at a reasonable price.

Let's Taste It : 

A very greedy nose, candied fruits, baked apples, tart tatin, beeswax, green apple, grape juice. A hint of smoke and iodine. Mirabelles, greengages, pan-fried pineapple with a touch of caramel. Grapefruit. On the palate, more fruity acidity, golden smith, green tea, yellow plums, grapes and some citrus fruits. Gooseberries. A pinch of pepper and other spices. The finish is pleasant, relatively long, pastry-like, chocolate cake, pudding, fig with almonds.

 

In Short, 

An interesting variation on the Bunnahabhain theme, a little less pastry-like and more on tangy fruits. You can indulge yourself on occasion, but this bottling has become hard to find.

Score : 85
