Dallas Dhu (silent) Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 1980 Vintage

Colour

Dense amber with copper-gold halos and mahogany hues.

Nose

Dark, inviting aromas of polished oak and rich sherry. Dried fig and raisin mingle with orange zest, almond, and caramel. Subtle spice—cinnamon and clove—drifts over brioche and honey, with a whisper of leather. An old-cask warmth pervades, a velvety perfume of toffee, mocha and dark fruit that promises a luxurious, lingering finish.

Palate

Silky and sumptuous, the palate opens with dark plum and fig, a touch of burnt sugar and rancio. Sherry influence broadens with orange zest and red berry depths, while satin oak adds vanilla, cocoa and a quiet spice. Clove and cinnamon emerge mid-palate, guiding a long, elegant finish of praline, cocoa and nutmeg.

Finish

Long and refined, the finish drapes the palate in sherried sweetness—figs and dried apricot with a whisper of orange zest—before settling into toasted oak. Cocoa and gentle spice linger, leaving a warm, nutty echo that invites the next sip.
