Bell's De Luxe Blendend Scotch Whisky (1980's Bottling) (75cl) 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep copper-amber with warm mahogany highlights.

Nose

Opulent, sherried nose with dried figs, raisins and dates, lifted by orange zest and a hint of cocoa. Toasted oak, vanilla and warming spice weave through the aroma, with a touch of almond adding complexity—a rich, inviting bouquet befitting a 12-year-old Bell's blend.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied with honeyed sweetness and orchard fruit that gives way to rich sherry influence. Toasted almond, toffee and a kiss of orange zest drift through vanilla-laced oak, while nutmeg and clove warmth linger. The finish is creamy malt, with a restrained sweetness and a polished, enduring spice.

Finish

A velvety, long finish where sweet sherry notes linger with raisin and fig, balanced by vanilla and caramel, a wisp of orange zest, nutmeg, and toasted oak, fading to cocoa and leather.
