Dufftown Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old · 1975 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with a velvety mahogany core and copper-gold edges, a warm, sherried glow.

Nose

Sherry-cask richness blooms on the nose: dark fruit cake, dried figs and raisins, plum preserves with a lacquer of toffee. Spices—clove and cinnamon—drift with roasted almond and mahogany oak, mingling cocoa and espresso. Velvet fruit depth lingers, tempered by leather and burnt sugar, announcing a powerful, refined Speyside character.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied on the palate, this 21-year-old Dufftown carries a lush sherry kiss with dark fruit and cocoa. Ripe figs, raisins and prune mingle with toasted oak, alongside spices of cinnamon and clove. Velvety yet commanding, it finishes long and resinous, with a warming sweetness lingering.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with sherry-rich fruit and cocoa notes, restrained by elegant oak spice. The high ABV lingers warmly, leaving a velvety, nutty warmth and a final ember of spice.
