Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection The Recollection Series 46 year old Banff 1976, 50.4%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2023 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
A light and elegant nose of honey, vanilla, barley, lemon balm, and white pear, with subtle hints of orange peel, toffee, and oak spices. The texture is wonderfully rich and syrupy, with raspberry jam, mixed peel, red apple, cinnamon, dried apricot, crystalized ginger, creamy almond, lemon mousse, and silky oak. Baked lemon flavors continue into the mouth-coating finish, which is reasonably oaky. (109 bottles)
