Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 60.1%
Time for yet another remarkable Gordon & MacPhail bottling from a unicorn lost distillery. Dallas Dhu was one of the victims of Diageo predecessor United Distillers' cull of 1983, and is almost impossibly rare nowadays - only a handful of bottlings have appeared in the last decade, almost all of them from Gordon & MacPhail.
This Private Collection Gordon & MacPhail Dallas Dhu is from a single refill American hogshead - and it must have been a very special one, yielding 134 bottles at a defiant 60.1% after a full 38 years of ageing. Obviously this is going to be an extraordinary whisky by a great Speyside distillery from which, one day soon, even Gordon & MacPhail will no longer have any stock.

Tasting Notes
Fragrant tropical fruit aromas combine with honey and light grapefruit zest. Crystallised violet comes to the fore accompanied by sweet lime.
Smooth and sweet flavours of vanilla leads to cracked black pepper and fresh chilies.
A medium and slightly drying finish with lingering herbal notes and oak.

Admittedly, I haven't tried every whisky in the world. I like the Laphroaig, peaty and uncompromising end of the single malt scale. This is my current favourite. A brutal and beautiful drink. Harsh and refined; sour and sweet. Dangerously tasty. A real find for me, this one.
I acquired mine after someone had poured it away, and used the empty as a candle holder. Despite imbibing this Glenrothes from a drain, it was decent. 57.1% seemed to remove any of the drain ickiness. It has also somewhat dulled the pain I'm still in from recently trapping my, ahem, in my zipper.
