Mackillop's Choice (distilled at Longmorn) 1966, 43%

Price: 150.00 Issue: Winter 2003 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Single Malt Scotch

Style: Speyside single malt scotch Color: Walnut Aroma: Richly sherried and thick, with notes of nuts and toffee. Wood resins contribute spice and variety. Fruitcake at Christmas. Palate: Thick, chewy in texture, and quite ripe. Again the fruitcake. Very deep and mature with some underlying maltiness. Dry, spicy, oak notes fight off all that sherry and add balance and complexity. Long, soothing finish.
