| Review #597 |
This is a 1975
vintage miniature from Gordon & MacPhail’s “Connoisseurs Choice” series.
Oak and strawberry jam in the smell. Toffee and spices. Vanilla and sweet
raisins. Some fruity sweetness as well. Yes, a lot of things going on here.
A light
alcohol burn at first. Loads of oak and oak spices in the taste. Overripe plums
and burned caramel. The oak is also dominating in the finish. Which is warm and
long by the way.
Lovely stuff with great influence from the
casks. Very flavorful considering the low ABV. I miss a bit of complexity and
the oak is a bit too dominant to score a very high rating. I will give this
86/100 (21/22/22/21).
