Created to mark Kirsch Import\u0026#39;s 50th anniversary, it is limited to 50 sets. The five bottles are housed in a wooden presentation case decorated with a stag motif and anniversary lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection contains 0.7 litres each of 46-year-old Caol Ila 1976 at 45.8%, Littlemill 1991\/2023 at 44.5%, Bruichladdich 1988\/2024 at 51.2%, Speymalt from Macallan Distillery 2001\/2026 at 51% and 14-year-old Benromach 2012\/2026 at 59.2%. Whiskies matured for many decades thus sit alongside a younger single-cask bottling. The presentation also reflects different periods in the bottler\u0026#39;s history: historic map labels and the black Connoisseurs Choice label appear alongside the Speymalt design and today\u0026#39;s Connoisseurs Choice presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Caol Ila matured in a Refill American Hogshead, a cask previously used to mature whisky. The Benromach, by contrast, comes from First Fill Bourbon Barrel number 11 and was bottled on 14 July 2026. The collection has no added colouring and is non-chill filtered. Its flavour range extends beyond citrus and coconut to red apples, dark chocolate and autumnal spices, with delicate smoke adding another accent to the long-matured Caol Ila.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e The collection\u0026#39;s aromatic range combines lively orange zest with creamy coconut notes and delicate hints of white chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the palate, distinct notes of juicy apple meet the spice of mature oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The long finish reveals a subtle smoky note and gently fading chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery\/Bottler:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGordon \u0026amp; MacPhail began as a grocery, wine and spirits shop founded in Elgin in 1895 by James Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail. John Urquhart, and later his son George, made the selection and maturation of malt whisky a central part of the business. They matched spirits with suitable oak casks and built up stocks for maturation that could last several decades. Working with its own casks and whiskies from different distilleries also provides the background to this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorge Urquhart introduced Connoisseurs Choice in 1968 to make single malts available from distilleries whose whiskies were rarely encountered in their own right at the time. The map labels of the Heritage presentation recall this history. The company also has its own distillery in Benromach: the Urquhart family acquired the site near Forres in 1993 and reopened it in 1998 after five years of refitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eScotland\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct category\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWhisky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSmoke\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLightly smoky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGift packaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSingle Malt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e3.5 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e50.34%\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eResponsible market operator\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ebringts Schweiz GmbH, Steinrain 18, 4112 Flüh\/CH\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottler\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGordon \u0026amp; MacPhail\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottling year\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCaol Ila: 2022; Littlemill: 2023; Bruichladdich: 2024; Macallan and Benromach: 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eColouring\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask strength or high alcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eConnoisseurs Choice and Speymalt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask size\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCaol Ila: Refill American Hogshead; Benromach: First Fill Bourbon Barrel\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eChill filtration\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAllergens\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOrganic certification\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGordon \u0026amp; MacPhail\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eEdition size\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e50 sets\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Gordon \u0026 MacPhail","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57651777929589,"sku":"124096","price":4994.7,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0362\/8734\/8871\/files\/9d681b7b0fcd53493685da2c6332794b.webp?v=1791933101","url":"https:\/\/www.bringts.ch\/en\/products\/gordon-macphail-50th-anniversary-collection-5x70cl-50th-anniversary-kirsch-import-g-m","provider":"bringts.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
