Clynelish 1972 50 Year Old Private Collection #5335
Personally selected by the Urquhart family, who have owned Gordon & Macphail for four generations, this Clynelish expression has been bottled as a part of the Private Collection. Aged for half a century in a single American oak cask, the whisky has been bottled at a very impressive 58% abv. Presented in a spectaular wooden box, as one of only 135 bottles.
On the nose, expect aromas of apple, walnut and ginger spice, before touches of Sicilian lime and subtle aged leather come to the fore. Poached pear flavours give way to apricot and banana on the palate, alongside hints of vanilla, pineapple and mature oak. The finish is full and long, with lingering citrus zest.
