This was distilled in 1971 (back when Tamdhu only has 2 stills) and aged until 2011, when Gordon & MacPhail bottled it at 43% ABV for the MacPhail's Collection. Colour: Gold. Nose: Starts very fresh and flowery (dandelions), with also notes of yellow plums and apricots. Gets then slightly resinous (pine needles) and vanilled (custard), with traces of plain oak in the background. Mouth: A faint fruitiness
