Highland Park 1995-2017, 22yo, 53.2% – Gordon & MacPhail for The Whisky Exchange

Mortlach 1954-2012, 58yo,43% – Gordon & MacPhail’s Rare Old
Well, rare and old this one surely is! A 58 year old Mortlach! I still can’t really wrap my head around me getting this from Gordon & MacPhail. This one was also delayed quite a bit in reviewing, but I … Continue reading
