Bladnoch Single Cask Whisky Miniature 11 Year Old · 1985 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-bronze hues and a warm burnished-gold glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry notes crown ripe raisin, fig and orange zest, with dark plum and cocoa gliding over toasted oak, caramel and vanilla. A warm spice veil—cinnamon and clove—lends depth, while a peppery lift from the 56.8% ABV keeps the perfume vibrant and poised.

Palate

Sherry-kissed and richly textured, this Bladnoch delivers dark fruit sweetness—raisin, fig, prune—brightened by orange zest. Cocoa, espresso and toasted oak envelop the palate, while clove and cinnamon spice warms the mid-palate. A full, creamy mouthfeel leads to a long, leathery finish with lingering fruitcake notes.

Finish

Long, richly textured finish with a warm oak-spice backbone. Dried fig, cocoa, and a hint of orange zest linger, slowly fading into velvet warmth that leaves the palate tingling and inviting the next sip.
