Cutty Sark The Cape Home By The Horn Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with burnished copper reflections and mahogany undertones, a warm, wine-kissed glow evoking sherry-cask richness.

Nose

Opulent sherry-led aroma with dark dried fruits—raisin, fig and prune—woven with cocoa, toffee and vanilla. Toasted almond and cinnamon-clove spice mingle with polished oak and a hint of orange zest. A faint coastal whisper adds intrigue, yielding a warm, refined bouquet.

Palate

Silky and medium-bodied with a gently oily mouthfeel. Sherried sweetness brings dried fig, raisin and orange zest, layered with vanilla and toasted almond. Subtle spice—cinnamon and clove—threads through cocoa and oak, adding depth. The finish is long, warming and fruit-driven, lingering with cocoa, spice and a final almond note.

Finish

Long, opulent finish with sherry-softened sweetness; dark fig and raisin linger against toasted oak, while cocoa and spice thread through the aftertaste. Velvet and warm, it tapers to a refined warmth that invites the next sip.
