    This is another bottling by Gordon & Macphail, but under their RESERVE label, bottled at cask strength, in this case a whopping 54,4% ABV from this as-of-1993-mothballed distillery. Reopening is a pipe… read more

    So, this was a limited release of around 211 bottles by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, of an 11 year old unnamed (and silent) distillery named something like ROSEBANK! Finished in port pipe. I scored a… read more
