Glen Garioch 1988/2007 Gordon & MacPhail Secret Stills 45% vol. 0,7l

Gordon & MacPhail is probably the most important independent bottler in Scotland.
Gordon & MacPhail has vast stocks of barrels from almost all distilleries, the stored vintages date back to the 30s.
The most famous series by Gordon & MacPhail is the Connoisseurs Choice with over 40 different bottlings.
There is also a Cask Strength series and bottlings under the name Spirit of Scotland and Speymalt.
One thing all the bottlings have in common is the very high, excellent quality.

Secret Stills - Distillery No. 06 - Release no. 01 - Highland
1989 - 2006
The latest series, "Secret Stills," by Gordon & MacPhail, was born out of necessity.
Gordon & MacPhail would like to fill old, excellent barrels of various distilleries as single malt.
As was the case with all independent bottlers, Gordon & MacPhail also requested permission to list the distillery name on the bottling.
The times seem to have changed, because this request was denied - and so Gordon & MacPhail may indicate on these bottlings only the region and the place of origin of the malts.

The guessing is not difficult with this bottling, because the label on the back reads: "... from a distillery founded in 1797 in the small Highland town of Oldmeldrum" - Glen Garioch!
Filling from four hogsheads!
