Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 51%
A single cask 1987 Balmenach 32-year-old bottled in 2020 without colouring or chill filtration by Gordon & MacPhail for their Connoisseur's Choice Cask Strength range, one of a string of long-aged drams celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Gordon & MacPhail's Connoisseurs Choice range.
This 32-year-old Balmenach 1987 matured in a refill sherry hogshead that yielded just 208 bottles at its natural cask strength of 51%. Balmenach has long been a Speyside workhorse for owners Inver House (and previous stewards United Distillers) and official bottlings are almost non-existent, so these indie bottlings are the best way to taste the distillery's gutsy, characterful spirit.

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.
