1972 Coleburn, 28 year old. Connoisseurs Choice Gordon & Macphail

Colour: straw

Nose: very fresh and fruity (pear drops) A little eucalyptus and apple juice,

Mouth: wood, grain, some fruit. Medium finish,

A superb Speyside from G&M CC collection. There have only been a few bottlings of Coleburn, mainly by independents. The bulk of the output of this now silent still was for Johnnie Walker blends. This makes bottles of the spirit very collectible and rare. It is a fruity style of whisky, ideal for the Johnnie Walker red drinker with a special anniversary or birthday.
