Bell's Extra Special Whisky (1990's Bottling) 8 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with copper highlights and a mahogany edge, a warm sherry-hued glow.

Nose

Richer sherry aromas rise from the glass: raisin and fig with orange zest, braided with toffee and burnt sugar. Vanilla and toasted oak add warmth, while a cocoa hint and gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—lend a mature, nutty depth that lingers gracefully.

Palate

On the palate, Bell's Extra Special 8 Year Old presents a dark-fruited, nutty core—fig and raisin with orange zest—woven into rich toffee and vanilla. Sherry-cask maturity adds a polished sweetness and subtle rancio, while oak spice—cinnamon and clove—lingers with a gentle bite. Medium-full, it finishes warm with dried fruit notes, cocoa and toasted almond.

Finish

Long and elegant, the finish unfolds with sherry-rich sweetness—figs, raisin and dark fruit—woven with toasted oak and gentle spice. A silky cocoa note lingers, warmly tapering to a refined, memorable fade.
