On the nose, this whisky offers an array of inviting aromas, including polished oak pews, brandy-soaked cherries, Wine Gums, and leather, accompanied by nuances of goat’s milk dark chocolate, candied nuts, and marzipan. Fruity pipe tobacco, oranges, and sliced melons add depth to the bouquet. The palate delivers a rich, fruity, and floral experience with a warm, buttery mouthfeel, featuring notes of polished oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla bean. Indulgent flavors of creme caramel, dulce de leche, mandarin orange, and brandy-soaked cherries unfold, accompanied by hints of tobacco, dark chocolate, and leather. The finish, of medium length, envelops the palate in warm spices, creamy vanilla, and soft fruits. While not as sherried as previous batches, this whisky exudes elegance and complexity. While its exact origins remain unclear, it is associated with a renowned distillery on the Ballindalloch Estate.
