Glendronach 27-Year-Old 1955, bottled by Gordon & Macphail, one of the oldest Scotch whisky merchants. The Connoisseurs Choice range is a flagship of Gordon & MacPhail. Created for the Italian collector and importer Edoardo Giaccone in the early 1970s, it became a part of the regular range in 1979 and has remained there ever since, though it has evolved significantly over the years, from black and red labels or map labels to the contemporary gradient labels. The older editions were reduced to 40% and artificially colored; today, the whiskies in the range are presented in their natural color and sometimes at cask strength.
