Decadent Drinks 'The Marketing Malt' #2 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 20 Year Old · 2005 Vintage
In stock
The Marketing Malt returns with something truly unhinged and glorious. Two first-fill European oak sherry butts from 2005, married after 20 years and bottled at 100 proof (57.1%).
The result is part ancient Armagnac, part sherry bomb, part futuristic malt, intense, complex, and wildly delicious. Expect dark chocolate, espresso, figs, roasted game, and walnut wine wrapped in rich, spicy depth.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany edge, a rich, wine-warm glow that speaks of sherry-cask maturation and patient aging.
Nose
Opulent sherry perfume greets the nose, with dark chocolate and espresso lifting dried fig and walnut-wine, while leather and roasted spice deepen the scent. A warm, Armagnac-like richness threads through velvety European oak, with subtle game notes.
Palate
Opulent and full-bodied, the palate delivers dark chocolate and espresso at the core, with figs and walnut wine lending caramelized sweetness. Roasted game notes emerge amid rich sherry depth and spice-laden oak, yielding a velvety, syrupy mouthfeel that coats the tongue, balanced by a lingering, dignified finish of dried fruit and warm spice.
Finish
Long, decadent finish of dark chocolate and espresso, with fig sweetness and walnut wine lingering on the palate. Roasted game notes drift through rich sherry-influenced oak, delivering warm spice and a cocoa-toned fade that lingers invitingly.
