Gordon & MacPhail Balblair 30 Years Old 1993 Connoisseurs Choice – Aberdeen Whisky Shop News

UNDAUNTED SPIRIT

Created in 1968 by whisky visionary, Mr. George Urquhart, the Connoisseurs Choice range has featured more than 2,000 bottlings from almost 100 Scottish distilleries.

George Urquhart is widely acknowledged to be one of the industry’s true pioneers. In 1968, when the vast majority of spirit went to make blended whisky, George created the Connoisseurs Choice to provide little-known distilleries a platform to have their whisky enjoyed in its simpliest form, as a single malt.

A master of maturation, Mr George was instrumental to the growth and international success of Scottish whisky, particularly single malts.

The Unique story of each Connoisseurs Choice whisky is told through its label: cask type, bottling date, strength, vintage and tasting note.

This extraordinary single malt was distilled in 1993 at the Balblair Distillery in the Highland Region of Scotland. The fruity, rich newmake was filled into a single First-Fill Sherry Puncheon, when it rested for 30 long years, before being bottled by Gordon & Macphail at natural cask strength, without chill-filtration or artificial colouring. Presented in a beautiful wooden box.
