Decadent Drinks 'The Marketing Malt' #3 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old · 2008 Vintage
In stock
Marketing Malt returns here as a 17-year-old bottled from a single first fill sherry hogshead at 57.1% ABV. It is a rich, dark and gently spicy modern sherry cask whisky, but with a polished balance between ripe fruit, oak and sweetness that keeps it expressive rather than heavy. There is plenty of richness and immediate depth, though it remains controlled and approachable, making it a strong sherried malt with broad appeal.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany hues and a warm copper glow.
Nose
Thick dark fruits dominate, with plummy jams and preserved syrups. Walnut oil lends a lush, nutty richness, while jasmine tea glides through notes of dark chocolate. Dried herbs and savoury elements add lift and nuance, yielding a polished, inviting sherry-forward aroma that hints at depth to come.
Palate
More dark fruits, exotic hardwoods, raisins, black tea and winter mulled spice, with hints of walnut oil and old Armagnac.
Finish
A long, spicy finish that lingers with dark fruit depth, interwoven with dark chocolate and prune notes, leaving a warm, decadent afterglow.
