Millburn was a small whisky distillery located in Inverness, Scotland, known for its high-quality whisky. Established in the early 19th century, around 1807, the distillery went through several changes and ownerships before closing its doors in 1985. Despite being closed for over three decades, Millburn whisky is still highly sought after, as it was never officially bottled during its operation.
The Millburn 1971 GM Connoisseurs Choice is a 40% ABV whisky distilled in 1971 and bottled in 1994 by Gordon & MacPhail. This whisky is part of the Connoisseurs Choice series, which has been around since the late 1970s and is known for its "old map label."
Tasting notes for this whisky describe complex layers of dried fruit, nutty maltiness, and spicy accents, harmoniously balanced with a soft vanilla and floral note. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering warmth that transitions into a dry elegance, a testament to its long aging process and high quality.
Due to the distillery's closure and limited bottlings, Millburn whiskies are highly sought after and collectible, making them a valuable addition to any whisky collection.

Though the sherry casks mellow the flavors compared to bourbon casks, this whisky still maintains its unique charm. With an inviting nose of dry hay and smoked bales, a pure malt and chestnut honey palate, and a medium finish with a hint of ashes and pepper, it is a delightful addition to any connoisseur's collection.
