Gordon & MacPhail Recollection Series #3 Rosebank 1991 32 Year Old 51.2% ABV

This release is one of the oldest and rarest Rosebank single malts ever released. Distilled in 1991 and matured for 32 years in a first-fill bourbon barrel, this incredible Lowland liquid was bottled in 2024 for Gordon & MacPhail’s ‘Recollection Series 3’.

Presented at 51.2% abv, those lucky enough to try this lost masterpiece should expect an unusual nose of lime zest and milk chocolate, followed by a palate of poached pear and vanilla fudge, leading to a tropical fruit finish.
