Auchroisk The Singleton Whisky 10 Year Old · 1983 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany edge, a warm sherried glow.

Nose

Ripe dark fruits mingle with fig and cherry, layered with roasted almonds and cocoa. Sherry-influenced vanilla and toffee rise through the aroma, while cinnamon and clove add warmth, finishing with dried orange zest and a touch of leather.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied and warmly aromatic, the palate opens with sherry-soaked fig and raisin, braided with toffee and dark chocolate. Orange zest drifts amid toasted cinnamon and clove over resinous oak, while caramel and a honeyed sweetness linger, finishing with a gentle, comforting warmth.

Finish

Silky and remarkably long, this finish carries warm sherry sweetness that lingers with raisin and fig, woven through toasted oak and spice. Notes of dark chocolate and orange peel emerge, gradually fading to a graceful nutted complexity and a lingering whisper of smoke.
