Here’s an 11-year-old sherry cask whisky bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for its Discovery series, using spirit sourced from Caol Ila Distillery located near Port Askaig on Islay, Scotland.
This Discovery range is curated to offer an utterly dependable and consistent choice of G&A’s fine whiskies where each expression sits within the bold flavour profiles of either sherry, smoke, or bourbon. This particular bottling is colour-coded in light grey meaning the whisky has a smoky flavour profile.
Nose: Sweet and savoury, dry-cured meats glazed with luscious apricot jam combines with rich vanilla notes. Flashes of softly swirling peat smoke complement the delicious sweetness.
Taste: Bursting with juicy tropical fruit – pineapple, kiwi, and banana – brushed softly with icing sugar. Light touches of malt and vibrant lemon peel balance the sweetness.
Finish: Long and luxurious with hints of sweet marshmallow toasting over gently smouldering bonfire embers.
