Gordon And Macphail - Speymalt From Macallan Distillery 1998

Gordon & MacPhail bottles a series of single malt whiskies from one of the world’s most famous distilleries—Macallan. Established in 1824, the distillery overlooks some of the finest fishing beats on the River Spey. It is likely that whisky has been distilled on the Macallan site, a small hill overlooking the river Spey, since the late 1700’s. The first licensed distillation at Macallan took place in the earliest days of legalised production, in 1824. The distillery changed hands several times throughout the 19th century and in 1894 was bought by Elgin merchant, Roderick Kemp (who also owned Talisker on Skye). Treacle toffee aromas with Medjool dates and orange peel. The palate has rich stewed fruit, dark chocolate and autumnal spices, leading to full and lingering roasted coffee beans.
