Gordon & Macphail the Recollection Series #2 42 Year Private Collection Scotch Whisky 700ml

The Recollection Series is a collection of rare single-malt whiskies that celebrates the character of closed or long-silent distilleries. This particular expression is a 42-year-old Port Ellen, one of Scotland's most renowned "ghost" distilleries.

This whisky was distilled in 1978 and matured in oak casks, carefully selected and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail. The spirit has a rich amber color and a complex aroma that unfolds in layers.

Tasting Notes:

Nose
An enticing aroma of fresh vanilla pods, toasted oak, and smoky peat, with notes of ripe apricot, green apple, and lemon zest.

Palate
The flavors of sweet vanilla and toasted oak continue on the palate, followed by a wave of spicy black pepper, salted caramel, and earthy peat smoke. Hints of dried fruit, especially raisins, and figs, add to the complexity of the flavor profile.

Finish
A long, smooth finish with lingering notes of smoky peat, dark chocolate, and espresso.

This limited-edition release of only 238 bottles is a testament to the exceptional quality of Port Ellen whisky and the art of whisky maturation. The 42-year-old Port Ellen Recollection Series is a rare and highly collectible bottling that will be treasured by whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike.
