Speymalt 14 Year Old from Macallan Distillery for Gordon & Macphail 2005-2019 70cl

A 2005 Macallan single malt from independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail that was bottled in 2019 as part of its Speymalt range. Aromas of toffee and banana fill the nose, complemented by notes of orange peel, black peppery, poached pears and milk chocolate throughout the palate and lingering in the finish.

Always one of the great core bottlings in the old G&M range, this disappered amid reports of dwindling stocks and price rises, well it's back (though we don't know for how long...!)

This is a 2005 vintage, 14 year old sherried Macallan, resplendent in the 'old style' packaging. Price wise it's a steal for a Macallan but the quality is there also. Classic Sherry cask aromas are present with stewed dark fruits, Highland toffee, milk chocolate and baked banana sundae. The palate is rich and smooth, with good mouthfeel. There's creamy chocolate, pear and orange flavours to the fore with a slight woody spice and pepper that adds a little balance. The finish is lingering and creamy with a delicate departure.

Grab a bottle (or 2) of this while you can as this is absolutely superb value for a whisky of this quality.
