Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with coppery, sunlit highlights and a warm, caramel-tinged edge. Sherry-cask richness lends a radiant, ruby-gold glow that drapes the glass in luxurious warmth.

Nose

Rich, sherried aroma with notes of dark raisin, prune, and fig, lifted by orange zest. Caramelized toffee and cocoa mingle with vanilla, toasted almond and warm spice, hinting at cinnamon and clove. Oak-derived warmth completes the bouquet, inviting a luxurious, contemplative sip.

Palate

Silky and mature, this 8-year-old Bell’s delivers a sherry-kissed palate: dark plum and raisin fruit layered with toffee and cocoa. Nutty almond notes mingle with orange zest and gentle spice, backed by toasted oak. The finish is warm and lingering, with a festive sweetness that invites the next sip.

Finish

Long, velvety finish that lingers with sherry-laced sweetness—dark fruit, raisin and fig, whispers of cocoa and orange zest, rounded by toasted almond and warm spice, with gentle oak fading into the palate.

Bell's
Bell’s traces its roots to Arthur Bell, a Perth wine and spirits merchant who began vatting malt whiskies together in 1851 to create a more consistent blended Scotch. The “Extra Special” trademark was registered in 1895 and later appeared with the Bell’s name in 1904, becoming the basis of the long-running Bell’s blend. Blair Athol, founded in 1798, became closely tied to the brand after Arthur Bell & Sons acquired the distillery in 1933.
