Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 51.6%
Past Connoisseurs Choice bottlings from Islay distilleries have been absolutely on the money and this offering from Bruichladdich aged at almost 30 years old is certainly top drawer.
Batch 20/013 is a 1990 Bruichladdich bottled in 2020 by G&M for their new and improved Connoisseur's Choice range.
This "upper range" with releases of single malts aged 30 years and above (oops, 29 in this case) was launched to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Gordon & MacPhail's Connoisseurs Choice range.
G&M have also spiced things up and bottled this one at a natural strength instead of the usual 46%. It was matured for 29 amazing years in a refill sherry hogshead #2991 that yielded just 173 bottles.

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.
