James Eadie Trademark X First Edition Blended Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
A reincarnation of an old Scotch blended whiskey. Eadie began producing this expression back in 1854. Trade Mark "X" was produced until the late 1940s, then disappeared. However, the brand has been relaunched by Eadie's great-great-grandson, with a recipe that features 14 of the 16 whiskies that appeared in the original Trade Mark "X", including a couple of closed distilleries.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with a warm copper glow and subtle honey-bronze undertones.
Nose
Sherry-cask richness envelopes the nose: plum and fig compote, orange zest, and dark raisin sweetness, layered with cacao, toasted almond, and warm spice. Subtle vanilla, leather, and polished oak provide a dignified baseline, while a whisper of smoke hints at old distilleries reclaimed for this edition.
Palate
Velvety and generous on the palate, this blends sherried fruit with poised spice. Dried plum and fig meet orange zest, dark chocolate and toffee, all framed by elegant oak and a hint of almond. Cinnamon and nutmeg brighten the mid-palate, leading to a warm finish of tobacco, leather and a whisper of maritime smoke. Silkily balanced at 45.6% ABV, with surprising depth and length.
Finish
Long, luxurious and polished, the finish releases fig and raisin from sherry cask influence, wrapped in dark chocolate and toasted oak. Spice notes—cinnamon and clove—linger with orange zest and espresso, fading into a warm, resinous wood glow. A velvet, lingering finish that invites another sip.
