Bladnoch Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 11 Year Old · 1984 Vintage

Colour

Rich, dark amber with copper highlights and a touch of mahogany.

Nose

Soft orchard-fruit sweetness rises from delicate malt and polished oak. Dried fig and raisin mingle with vanilla and honey, while subtle sherry notes lend a warm, fruitcake richness. A hint of almond and citrus zest keeps the aroma elegant and lightly spiced, emblematic of Bladnoch’s refined Lowland character.

Palate

On the palate, a soft, malt-driven core carries sun-warmed dried fruit with gentle sherry sweetness. Raisin and fig mingle with toasted almond and orange zest, giving way to velvety chocolate and a whisper of spice. Light to medium body for a Lowland, with clean oak and a warm, honeyed finish that lingers gracefully.

Finish

An elegant, long finish where sun-dried fruits and fig mingle with subtle spice; sherry-cask influence lends a warm, toffee-tinted sweetness that lingers, slowly fading to cocoa and toasted oak.
