Glenturret The Macphail's Collection Whisky 12 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with warm honey hues and coppery undertones.

Nose

Opulent sherry-led aroma with dark dried fruits—raisins, figs, prunes—intertwined with orange zest and toffee. Cocoa and vanilla mingle with toasted almond and warm oak, while a whisper of cinnamon and clove adds spice. Subtle cedar and tobacco echo in the background, finishing with a refined, inviting sweetness.

Palate

Silky, sherried richness coats the palate with dark plum, raisin and fig, lifted by orange zest and toffee. Vanilla and almond thread through cocoa and baking spice, with subtle oak providing backbone. A warm, lingering finish of fruit, spice and leather.

Finish

Silky and lingering, the finish arrives with dried fig, almond and toffee, shaded by a soft sherry sweetness. Dark chocolate and spice unfold, tapering to warm oak and a gentle ember that lingers long on the palate.
