Gordon & MacPhail·Connoisseurs ChoiceGlenturret

This is an 18-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from Glenturret, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail from a single cask at natural cask strength. As a single-cask release, it represents the character of one individual barrel rather than a larger batch, and the high strength means it is likely to taste concentrated and powerful.

For a novice drinker, expect a more intense experience than a standard bottling, with added weight from the ABV and some variation typical of single-cask whisky. A few drops of water may help open it up and make the aromas and flavours easier to explore.
