Aultmore Tarracroy Whisky Miniature 15 Year Old · 1980 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany hues and a copper-gold glow.

Nose

Sherry-driven nose with opulent dried fruits—raisin, fig and prune—woven with vanilla, toffee and toasted oak. Cocoa, espresso and almond emerge, toasted spice curling through the aroma, accented by a whisper of orange zest. Rich, velvety and inviting, it promises a luxurious, lingering finish.

Palate

Opulent and warming on the palate, this 56.1% dram delivers a sherry-soaked core of dark fruit—fig, raisin, plum—framed by toasted almond, toffee and cocoa. Cinnamon and clove rise with a brisk peppery bite from the high ABV, while velvet richness coats the mouth. The finish is long and refined, with oak, dried fruit, tobacco and a whisper of espresso.

Finish

Long and generous, the finish coats the palate with dried fig and raisin, cocoa and almond. Orange zest threads through cinnamon and clove, while refined oak and a hint of tobacco linger, leaving a warm, elegant, resinous echo.
