70cl / 52.3% / Gordon & MacPhail - Matured in a single American oak hogshead for over a quarter of a century, this 1990-vintage Bladnoch was bottled in January 2019 by Gordon & MacPhail for its Connoisseurs Choice range. Floral lavender oil and fresh fruit aromas are quickly joined by sweet, buttery shortbread, apricot jam and meadow flowers. The palate offers delicate, refined notes of dark chocolate, lime, green apples and sweet toffee, before a fruity, malty finish, with lingering oak spice.
