As an introduction to the Gordon & MacPhail portfolio, Discovery is curated to offer an utterly dependable and consistent choice of their finest single malt whiskies.

Each expression sits within the bold flavour profiles of either ‘Sherry’, ‘Smoky’, or ‘Bourbon’, making these single malts the perfect match for the whisky-lover who enjoys exploration through flavour and character.

A smoky scene. Peat is fired, embers smoulder, and the smoke rises to malt the barley, all of these elements represent the flavour profile of the ‘Smoky’ expressions. Subtle, specific key words further describe the flavours of these peated single malts.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Sweet and savoury: dry-cured meats glazed with luscious apricot jam combines with rich vanilla notes. Flashes of softly swirling peat smoke complement the delicious sweetness.

Palate: Bursting with juicy tropical fruit – pineapple, kiwi, and banana – brushed softly with icing sugar. Light touches of malt and vibrant lemon peel balance the sweetness.

Finish: Long and luxurious with hints of sweet marshmallow toasting over gently smouldering bonfire embers.
