Bell's Decanter Christmas 1995 Whisky 8 Year Old

Colour

Deep coppery amber with mahogany hues and a warm, glistening gold glow.

Nose

An inviting bouquet of dark fruit and festive spice unfolds on the nose: plump raisins, fig and orange peel, with date-like sweetness, layered with toffee, vanilla, and almond. Nutmeg and clove ride the oak-driven backbone, while sherry cask influence hints at cocoa and a whisper of chocolate-covered orange. Rich, luxurious and gently sweet, finishing with a velvety, resinous warmth.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied on the palate, this sherry-cask edition delivers a warm, festive sweetness with dried fig and raisin notes, layered with almond, toffee and a touch of dark chocolate. Spiced oak adds depth and gentle pepper, while orange zest lends a bright lift that lingers with a polished, memorable finish.

Finish

Warm, lingering finish with sherry-laden sweetness that echoes Christmas cake. Dried figs, raisins and orange zest surface with cocoa and vanilla, while cinnamon and clove lend a gentle spice. Toasted oak frames the final whispers, leaving a velvety, long finish.
