A very special bottling released by Gordon & MacPhail in celebration of their 125th anniversary. The first release in a series of malts, this single malt Coleburn was distilled in 1972 and matured in a refill sherry puncheon for 47 years. 363 bottles from single cask 3511, bottled at an impressive 62.4% vol, considering it's time in cask.
Tasting Notes
Coleburn 125th Anniversary Edition - Producer Notes
Nose: Sweet butterscotch, ripe fruit and subtle floral aromas. Caramelised sugar develops alongside waxy citrus peel, slowly transforming into fresh guava.
Taste: Intensely sweet; fruity flavours of apricot and cooked apple with a subtle mouth-warming chilli spice edge. Subtle charred oak flavours give way to a soft undertone of mint leaves.
Finish: A medium finish with sweet and ripe autumnal fruit and a lingering dry herbal note.
