1975 Teaninich Gordon & Macphail Connoisseurs Choice

Here’s a detailed tasting profile for the 1975 Teaninich Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice, a vintage Highland single malt with classic old-school charm:

Distillery: Teaninich (Highlands, Scotland)

Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail (Connoisseurs Choice series)

Vintage: Distilled in 1975, bottled in 1989

ABV: 40%

Label: Old Map label

Style: Single malt Scotch whisky

Nose :- Elegant and restrained: soft sherry notes, almonds, and dried apple slices. Hints of coal smoke, old wood, and herbal malt. A touch of waxiness and distant floral tones, evoking a bygone era

Palate :- Light yet oily: flavors of toasted nuts, barley sugar, and gentle spice. Subtle earthiness with a whisper of coal fire and dried citrus peel. Balanced sweetness with a slightly dry, mineral edge

Finish :- Lingering and graceful: soft almond oil, faint smoke, and herbal malt. Not overpowering, but deeply nostalgic and satisfying

A classic Highland malt from a time when Teaninich’s output was rarely seen as a single malt. Reflects Gordon & MacPhail’s commitment to showcasing underrepresented distilleries
