Discovery is the new introductory range from Gordon & MacPhail . It is a flavour-led range bottled at 43%, with three sub-types: Sherry , Bourbon and Smoky . It’s less about the details but at least the age is always mentioned, and the whiskies should be consistent.

From the first batch we try one of each style:

• Balblair 12 Years matured in bourbon casks
• Miltonduff 10 Years matured in sherry casks
• Smoky Caol Ila 13 Years (I assume from bourbon casks)

Balblair 12 yo (43%, Gordon & MacPhail ‘Discovery’ 2018)

Nose: high quality spirit with the typical Balblair...
