Benrinnes 1974/2007 Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Ch. 43% 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.

Benrinnes
Benrinnes was founded in Speyside in 1834 under the name "Lyne of Ruthrie Distillery" - four years later, in 1838 the name "Benrinnes" was introduced.
Dewar's took over in 1922 the distillery and so Benrinnes came via DCL to the current owner UDV. (United Distillers and Vintners).
The Malt forms the basis for the blends of AA Crawford, who until 1992 were also licensees of Benrinnes.
Benrinnes produces a medium and very balanced malt, which may be related to the distillation method, which, like Springbank's, provides for a 2.5-fold distillation.

A fresh Speyside whiskey with aromas of citrus and beautiful notes of nutmeg and cinnamon.

Distilled: November 1974
