Decadent Drinks Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old · 1996 Vintage
In stock
This 1996 Highland single malt was matured in hogsheads for 30 years and bottled at 45.6% ABV. It is a beautifully delicate, elegant old-style Highland whisky, full of the kind of character that feels increasingly scarce.
Waves of waxes, bright citrus oils, exotic fruit and fragrant sandalwood move across the palate with a texture that feels soft, mature and effortlessly composed. There is plenty of complexity here, but it never feels heavy or overworked. Instead, it carries the kind of quiet confidence that only properly mature whisky seems to possess.

Palate
Waxes and overripe exotic fruits weave with bright citrus oils and green fruits across the palate, bathed in a soft, mature, old-school Highland elegance. Fragrant sandalwood lingers, carrying a quiet, refined confidence.
Finish
Medium in length, the finish lingers with crystallised honey, beeswax, camphor and mead, a honeyed warmth that lingers with quiet grace.
