Girvan Red Cask Co. - Single Sherry Cask #911245 Whisky 26 Year Old · 1996 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery-bronze hues and mahogany-tinged edges.

Nose

Sherry-soaked richness coats the grain base, releasing ripe raisin and fig with orange zest and toffee. Almond, vanilla and toasted oak thread through a satin caramel core, while dark chocolate and espresso add depth. A whisper of spice—cinnamon and clove—gives the aroma a refined, cask-strength warmth.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate with a creamy grain core enriched by Oloroso sherry. Raisin, fig and date sweetness mingles with burnt caramel, dark chocolate and toasted almond. Orange zest brightness and warming spices—cinnamon and clove—thread through the richness. A velvety mouthfeel leads to a long, cocoa-dusted finish with a refined, drying edge.

Finish

Opulent and lingering, the finish unfolds in waves of Oloroso richness—figs, raisins and orange zest unfurl over warm, toasted oak. Rich nuttiness and cocoa drift into a long, velvety blaze of spice, leaving a final kiss of sherried sweetness.
