Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with coppery mahogany depth and a warm, glossy glow.
Nose
Opulent on the nose, this Allt-a-Bhainne unfurls layers of orange zest, ripe plum and fig, braided with honeyed malt and vanilla. Sherry-tinged shadows bring dark chocolate, raisin, and toasted almond, while cinnamon and clove spice mingle with cedar-sweet oak and a gentle, smoky undertone.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied on the palate, with sherry-dark sweetness and plush dried fruit—fig, raisin, and orange peel—woven into orchard fruit. Spices (cinnamon, nutmeg) greet with warmth, while dark chocolate, espresso, and toasted almond notes provide depth. The texture remains creamy with a gentle waxiness, finishing long and refined, with cognac-like sweetness tapering to a delicate, spicy fade.
Finish
Long, velvety finish with ripe dried fruit, cocoa and nutty spice; sherry sweetness wraps the palate, fading to warm oak and a whisper of espresso.
