Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 49.2%
A 1981 Lochside 40-year-old single cask bottled in 2021 by Gordon & MacPhail and released late in 2022 as one of the first bottlings in their annual Recollection series showcasing Scotland's lost distilleries.
Lochside closed in 1992 and is now one of the most sought-after of Scotland's lost distilleries. This 40-year-old Lochside 1981 came from a single refill sherry hogshead bottled without colouring or chill filtration, yielding 141 bottles at a natural cask strength of 49.2%.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich Sherry aromas complement fragrant mandarin peel. Salted almonds come to the fore with raspberry compote and faint malted biscuit.
Palate: Roasted coffee beans lead to walnuts and stewed raisins. Blackcurrant jam accompanies Seville orange peel and red apple.
Finish: A long finish with lingering hazelnuts and cocoa powder.

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
