Glenkinchie 1987/2007 Gordon & MacPhail Secret Stills 45% vol. 0,7l

Gordon & MacPhail is probably the most important independent bottler in Scotland.
Gordon & MacPhail has vast stocks of barrels from almost all distilleries, the stored vintages date back to the 30s.
The most famous series by Gordon & MacPhail is the Connoisseurs Choice with over 40 different bottlings.
There is also a Cask Strength series and bottlings under the name Spirit of Scotland and Speymalt.
One thing all the bottlings have in common is the very high, excellent quality.

Secret Stills - Distillery No. 05 - Release no. 01 - Lowland
The latest series, "Secret Stills," by Gordon & MacPhail, was born out of necessity.
Gordon & MacPhail would like to fill old, excellent barrels of various distilleries as single malt.
As was the case with all independent bottlers, Gordon & MacPhail also requested permission to list the distillery name on the bottling.
The times seem to have changed, because this request was denied - and so Gordon & MacPhail may indicate on these bottlings only the region and the place of origin of the malts.
The guessing is not difficult with this bottling, as the label reads, "... from a Lowland distillery near Pencaitland, commonly known as the Edinburgh Malt" - Glenkinchie!

Filling two refill Sherry Hogsheads!
