Balmenach Miltonhaugh Whisky 28 Year Old · 1966 Vintage

Colour

Deep, burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge, a warm, sherry-kissed glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry dominates the nose, releasing dark fruits such as prune, fig and raisin, woven with sticky toffee, cocoa and toasted almond. Rich spice such as cinnamon and clove drifts through, while roasted coffee beans and leather lend depth. Barrel strength adds a waft of warm heat, creating a luxurious, velvety tapestry that promises depth and grace.

Palate

Opulent and powerful on the palate, this Balmenach unfolds in a sherried glow of dark fruits—figs and raisins—paired with orange zest and toasted almond. Rich cocoa, clove, and cinnamon weave through velvety oak, delivering a warm, creamy mouthfeel that carries into a long, refined finish of fruit and spice.

Finish

An opulent, long finish that lingers with fig and raisin sweetness, dark chocolate and espresso. Sherry-cask warmth coats the palate, releasing cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, while rich oak and a touch of leather fade to a refined, dry, nutty echo.
