Dallas Dhu, Benromach, Glenlochy (G&M CC Heritage)
Gordon & MacPhail is launching the Connoisseurs Choice Heritage Collection , a new way of celebrating George Urquhart. He launched the Connoisseurs Choice range in 1968, providing enthusiasts the opportunity to try whisky from distilleries that were rarely available as single malts. In a way the new Heritage series has a similar approach: when was the last time you tried a new Dallas Dhu or Glenlochy?For this occasion G&M is reviving the old map label which adorned the series between 1988 and 1996. For more information on the evolution of the series, check this WhiskyAuctioneer article.It's remarkable that most of the whiskies on offer today were already bottled as far back as 2021. I assume they are leftovers / reworks of previous bottlings, or simply casks with a very small yield that didn't have a clear destination at that time.

Today we're looking at four recent releases from Bunnahabhain, Mortlach, an undisclosed Skye distillery and Springbank. Impressive. Bunnahabhain 45 yo 1979 (46,8%, Kanpaikai & The Antelope 2025, refill sherry butt #8056, 222 btl.) Nose: a lovely old style, the sherry is not intrusive at all. Full of tobacco, old polished wood and worn leather, cardemom and subtle whiffs of broth. The savoury note is balanced by flashes of fruits like dried berries and apricots. Then cigar boxes, elegant herbs and a wee hint of smoke. Mouth: just as nice. Dried herbs, more cigar boxes and leather, along with oranges and raisins. Walnuts, drops of Chartreuse, some mossy hints and Darjeeling. A light smokiness again, but
