Connoisseurs Choice 1989
from Mortlach Distillery (cask strength)
Created in 1968 by whisky visionary, George Urquhart, over the years this range has featured single malts from almost 100 Scottish distilleries. Comprising more than 2,000 individual bottlings, each Connoisseurs Choice tells its life story through its label: cask type, bottling date, strength, vintage and tasting note.
Nose
Rich DARK CHOCOLATE and creamy FUDGE aromas are complemented by subtle CINNAMON spice. ORANGE OIL develops alongside BROWN SUGAR and sweet STRAWBERRY JAM.
Taste
FRUITCAKE flavours with a hint of PRALINE leads to an undertone of fresh CHILLI. STEWED RAISIN slowly transforms into fresh RASPBERRY COMPOTE with a slight MATURE OAK edge.
Finish
A long finish with lingering MILK CHOCOLATE and subtle DRIED TOBACCO.
